I know, it doesn’t count for much. But it’s nice none the less.

The Tigers jumped out to a 7-1 lead after three innings, and Jeremy Bonderman pitched three solid innings. According to the news report, he was only scheduled to throw 40 pitches over two innings, but he came out for third inning since he hadn’t hit his pitch count. That’s definitely the kind of news you want to hear.

DeWayne Wise hit the first homer of the Tiger’s spring season, and the only homer of the game. Rondell White had a solid game with three hits.

Philly gets a rematch tomorrow at 1 pm. Unfortunately I was working, so I didn’t get to hear any of the game. I might head out to the car tomorrow for a late lunch if they’re on the radio just to get my fix.

Baseball’s here folks. And it brings a smile to this man’s face.
