This afternoon the Yankees faced the Detroit Tigers at their home stadium, Publix Park, at Joker Marchant Stadium. The game-time temperature was 68 with bright sunny skies in Lakeland, Florida. It was a perfect day for a ball game. The Tigers starter was RHP Spencer Turnball in his first start of the season. The Yankees used David Hale, who had a 40.50ERA. That’s not a misprint; he in his first game this spring training was got clobbered, giving up three runs in only two-thirds of an inning.
Leading off for the Yankees was Brett Gardner with Ex-Yankee Austin Romine catching behind the plate.
