Happy Friday, all you Tigers fans. Here is the daily news and info update to help you easily move into the weekend.
Yesterday the Tigers fell to the Blue Jays 7 to 9. However at this point the score really doesn't mean much as you all know.
Overall there were some bright spots for the Tigers on the day.
-Rick Porcello had a good outing pitching two innings of no hit baseball including one strikeout.
Other Tiger positives on the day include Brent Dlugach and Austin Jackson. Mr Dlugach added an oppo (Opposite field) homerun. Austin Jackson also added a hit and two walks.
Dlugach has shown some great power so far this spring which is a good surprise.
It may also be a little early to give Austin Jackson alot of praise but having him show patience and a good eye at the plate is a good sign. Yet keep in mind it is Spring Training and the pitching may not be up to par yet.
On a Negative note for yesterdays game Armando Galarraga gave up four runs on four hits and two walks while facing the entire Blue Jays line up 1-9.
-I was really hoping for a strong showing this season for Armando and this may only be a small step back or he may be just getting into shape for the season. I guess it's better to have this happen in spring ball but I expect much more from Galarraga this season.
Last but no least, check out The Detroit News youtube video's that they will be posting from time to time this year. Check out the video below on the Detroit Tigers and spring training. A nice video short on the Tigers and on adding Johnny Damon. Enjoy
