The Splinters&#8217; Dennis Eckersley was tasked with holding a 1-0 lead that Jim Palmer gave him with a stellar performance yesterday, but it only took one inning for him to lose it. Eckersley walked Kenny Lofton and allowed a one-out single to Charlie Blackwell before Alex Rodriguez took him deep with his 6th homer of the year. Adri\u00e1n Beltr\u00e9 had an RBI double a few batters later to give the Rockets a 4-1 lead. Luis Tiant took the mound for Detroit and allowed a run in the 7th and 8th before handing things over to Rockets closer Tom Henke, who shut down the Splinters for the 4-3 win. Yesterday&#8217;s starter, Bret Saberhagen, picked up the win on a day he didn&#8217;t pitch. Boston fell to 11-9, while Detroit improved to 12-9 to take 1st place in the American League. The teams will play again later this afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=590\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Boston @ Detroit &#8211; Resumed Game from 4\/22\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Splinters resumed their rain-postponed game against the Detroit Rockets.
