Spencer Turnbull dodged danger at least once.
The Detroit Tigers' starting pitcher turned his body and tilted his head, in a Matrix-esque movement, to avoid an incoming line drive from Enrique Hernandez. He got out of the way and avoided the comebacker before squatting in the infield grass near the mound, clearly bothered by pain in his neck.
That's when everything went downhill. The Tigers surrendered four runs in the sixth inning and lost, 6-3, to the Boston Red Sox in front of an announced 44,650-person crowd in their home opener at Comerica Park.
Detroit has a 2-5 record this season.
