ROUNDUP/MATCHUPS

Tigers 6, Angels 2:

Ronny Rodriguez had a memorable major league debut, hitting singles, scoring a run and making plays at second and third base to help Detroit top Los Angeles. The Tigers called the 26-year-old Dominican infielder on Wednesday night after he hit for the cycle, playing for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens at Syracuse. Detroit starter Ryan Carpenter was on pace to pick up his first career victory, but left the game after four innings with an oblique strain and was sent to the disabled list after the game. Warwick Saupold (3-1) replaced Carpenter and pitched two perfect innings. Carpenter gave up one run and five hits.

Athletics 7, Rays 3:

Daniel Mengden allowed three runs over eight innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 on Thursday to avoid a four-game sweep. Matt Olson, Matt Chapman and Matt Joyce all homered, providing some much-needed punch to an offense that had sputtered since their leading home run hitter Khris Davis went on the disabled list 10 days earlier. Davis was activated before the game and doubled and scored as part of a three-run second inning to help Oakland end a three-game losing streak.
