The Tigers pitching staff was strong again in this one. Despite some shakiness from Spencer Turnbull, he and the bullpen handled the New York Yankees with little trouble, and the offense took advantage of their opportunities to take this one 6-1 on a cool, sunny spring day in Detroit.
Spencer Turnbull cruised through his first inning despite a few errant pitches, but as he is wont to do, lost his rhythm and release point throughout a long second frame. A walk, a single, and another walk set him up for trouble, but fortunately he was able to limit the damage.
