SARASOTA, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers lost to the Baltimore Orioles, 5-4, on Sunday at Ed Smith Stadium, dropping to 4-4 (with two ties) in Grapefruit League play.
What happened
Right-handed reliever Miguel Diaz has impressed the Tigers so far in spring training, so much so that the organization could add him to the 40-man roster as a member of the Opening Day roster.
But Diaz, who signed a minor-league contract earlier this month, allowed three runs in the fourth inning Sunday, putting his team behind by two runs.
The Tigers stranded the bases loaded in the sixth inning but bounced back in the seventh against Orioles left-handed reliever Paul Fry.
