The Detroit Tigers took on the Atlanta Braves Tuesday afternoon at Joker Marchant Stadium, securing an easy 10-6 win despite several runs allowed by the bullpen. Here are some thoughts and observations from the spring training affair.
Pitchers
Justin Verlander made the start for the Tigers and threw 60 pitches over four scoreless innings. He showed great control and action on his pitches and seemed to be in mid-season form. The only hit he allowed was very soft, and the Tigers’ ace struck out five batters during his outing.
