LAKELAND, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers tied the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-6, on Friday at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium.
The Tigers stayed at 12-16 in Grapefruit League play after their second consecutive tie.
What happened
The top six batters in the Tigers' lineup — Kerry Carpenter, Nick Maton, Javier Báez, Austin Meadows, Spencer Torkelson and Miguel Cabrera — were the catalysts for a 15-hit effort in the third-to-last game in spring training.
That group finished 10-for-21 and drove in five runs.
Maton went 2-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in the sixth inning.
