LAKELAND, Fla. — Drew Hutchison can go home again.
And pitch. And win.
The Blue Jays right-hander allowed one run in four innings in his hometown in a lopsided romp over the Detroit Tigers Tuesday afternoon.
Not that he has pitched at Joker Marchant Stadium often.
In fact, the only other outing was when he followed Dustin McGowan to the mound after McGowan’s two-inning rehab start for the class-A Dunedin Blue Jays in 2011. Hutchison pitched four innings extending his scoreless string and suddenly the streak was smashed by the Lakeland Flying Tigers, led by Avisail Garcia, Rob Brantly and Jordan Lennerton.
