Jeremy Bonderman threw four shutout frames today as the Tigers beat the Devil Rays 3-2. Todd Jones also got some work and he threw a perfect frame while Yorman Bazardo was touched up for the two runs that the Devil Rays scored. With three weeks left to go, the spring games will starting taking on more and more of the air of a real game and while starters will usually be limited to around five innings, you won’t see any many throwers in a given game.Â
Ivan Rodriguez hit his third homerun of the spring and with a lefty on the mound, he once again hit leadoff. Marcus Thames doubled home a run and Omar Infante had an RBI with a sac. fly to account for the other two Tiger runs.
The Tigers also made some cuts but there were no major surprises. You can check it all out at Tiger Minors.
Nate Robertson gets the start tomorrow on the road against the Dodgers. It’s a 1:05 start time and the Dodgers affiliate will have the game on the radio.
