Lakeland, Fla. – When the Tigers came back out to start the fourth inning, two very important players were absent – the pitcher and the catcher.
Spencer Turnbull, who had breezed through the first three innings, was in the dugout, jacket on, thinking he was done for the day. Catcher Austin Romine was standing on the dugout steps, looking out at the bullpen, where nobody was warming up, wondering what was going on.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was wondering the same thing – and he didn’t seem amused by the delay.
