Mike Hessman had quite the day for the Tigers today in their 9-5 win over the Mets. He homered, doubled and drove in four runs and he split time between third base and first base. Ramon Santiago hit his second homerun of the spring and Kody Kirkland doubled and drove in three runs. Cameron Maybin continued an impressive spring with a single, a walk and two runs.
Kenny Rogers gave up two runs on five hits with four strikeouts in four innings. Kyle Sleeth threw another scoreless inning while Preston Larrison was knocked around for two runs in a single frame. Justin Verlander will get his third start of the spring tomorrow in a day game against the Red Sox and Josh Beckett.
