TAMPA, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers lost to the New York Yankees, 6-3, on Tuesday at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
The Tigers are 12-14 in Grapefruit League play.
What happened
For the first time in eight days, right-handed reliever Will Vest appeared in a spring training game. He recorded two outs in the sixth inning as the Yankees scored five runs off him.
The 27-year-old, who pitched in 59 games for the Tigers last season, wasn't injured during the week without an outing in big-league camp. Rather, he was trying to fix the mechanics of his delivery on the backfields in Lakeland.
