Tigers' scrambled start kicks off 4-1 loss in Cleveland

Cleveland – Not the way you want to start a three-city, 10-game road swing.

Right-hander Julio Teheran experienced tightness in his right triceps while warming up for his start Friday night and was officially scratched after the Tigers had batted in the top of the first inning.

Lefty Derek Holland got the emergency call and the Tigers had to scramble in a 4-1 loss to the Cleveland Indians.

The Tigers said Teheran was pulled as a precaution, but it's possible he could end up on the 10-day injured list. He came out of his last start in spring with back tightness.
