TAMPA, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 5-3, on Friday night at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
The Tigers improved to 5-3 in Grapefruit League play.
What happened
The Tigers secured a rare road doubleheader sweep on Friday.
Against two different teams. In two different cities.
Manager A.J. Hinch watched the Tigers beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-3, on Friday afternoon in Clearwater and then rushed to Tampa for the nightcap. A 20-mile drive that can be brutal in the Tampa Bay-area traffic.
But he made it to both games.
