Rodriguez was 1-for-4 with a solo homer in the Yankees win over Detroit on Friday night. It was career hit number 3,000 and as you might expect, immediately got the crowd rocking at Yankee Stadium. He took Justin Verlander deep on the first pitch he saw in the first inning, and now has 13 long ones to go with 35 RBI, and a very respectable .277 average on the season.
