OAKLAND, Calif. — Eduardo Rodriguez threw seven scoreless innings to end Detroit's two-game losing streak, and the Tigers beat the last-placed Athletics 2-0 in Oakland's last home game. Spencer Torkelson had two hits Sunday and drove in the only runs in the game with a two-run single in the third, helping Detroit finish 6-4 on its final road trip of the season. The A's lost for the ninth time in 11 games and tied the Oakland-era record for most losses in a season, initially set in 1979. The A's also tied the franchise mark of 55 home losses.
