Ok, so really it's the Tiger's second game, but do we really need to count their 17-4 routing of Florida Southern?
The Detroit Tigers opened Spring Training 2008 today with a solid 4-2 defeat of the mighty New York Metropolitans in front of 6,325 devoted fans. It was a great day for baseball with a 16 mph breeze coming out of right on an overcast 60 degree day in sunny Florida.
The game began in typical Jeremy Bonderman fasion with a run scored in the first off a sac fly and another in the second when Machado tripled in Abreu (Michael not Bobby).
The Tigers stood their ground and in the 7th inning sent Willie Collazo home with a 36 ERA. The day would end as such. The Mets 2 Runs-6 Hits-No Errors, the Tigers 4 Runs-7 Hits-and 1 Error.
Thursday afternoon they are scheduled to play the Blue Jays from Toronto, with Nate "the great" Robertson getting the call.
Tigers Grapefruit League 1-0
