Matt Wisler had an outing to forget as the Tigers explode late to hand the Braves an 11-3 loss. Wisler didn’t retire a batter as he allowed six hits and seven earned runs. Anibal Sanchez made his second start in an Atlanta uniform and allowed seven hits and three runs over five innings. Freddie Freeman hit his second home run of the spring in a losing effort.
Reliever Chase Whitley will begin the season on the disabled list as he continues to recover from a staph infection in his foot. Whitley appeared in just two games this spring and hasn’t pitched since February 27.
