The boos were louder for Alex Rodriguez after his first at-bat than before it.Appearing at Yankee Stadium for the first time since he appealed his 211-game suspension from Major League Baseball for violating its drug policy, Rodriguez heard a mixture of cheers and some boos when he batted for the first time in the bottom of the first inning on Friday night against the Detroit Tigers. A good number of fans stood and cheered for him.With a man on second and two outs, Rodriguez struck out swinging against Rick Porcello to end the inning. He then heard resounding boos.In the third inning, the same basic sequence would repeat itself. With one-out and a man on third, Rodriguez entered to a mixed reaction from the fans, but after swinging through a third strike, he was booed. In the fifth, he left runners on second and third, ending the inning by flying out to right. He led off the eighth by taking a called third strike on a 3-2 slider from reliever Bruce Rondon.
