The Detroit Tigers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in Grapefruit League action on Friday, I think. Toronto pulled ahead early when Tigers starter Ivan Nova struggled in the first inning (more on that in a bit), and the Tigers scored some runs later on. The results don’t matter in spring training, though, and the loss brought the Tigers to 0-0 on the season.
Let’s dive into what happened!
- Ivan Nova was not particularly sharp in the first inning. The Blue Jays made some decent contact off him, leading to a trio of runs — though, I think he was hosed on one play; Teoscar Hernandez’s two-run double down the third base line looked like a foul ball.
