Lakeland, Fla. — Detroit Tigers right-hander Tyson Ross, journeyman pitcher, continued his walkabout tour of the Grapefruit League on Friday. For a team seeking to stabilize its starting rotation, it wasn’t an encouraging look.
The line on Ross: Two innings, three hits, three earned runs, three consecutive walks, three wild pitches (in a seven-pitch span), one hit batter and one home run allowed (on the game’s second pitch).
After his outing gave the New York Mets needed fuel for a 7-1 victory at Joker Marchant Stadium, Ross blamed his struggles on a faulty release point.
