What happened

The Detroit Tigers played a split squad game on Sunday – half the team went to Bradenton, the other half was in North Port. In Bradenton, the Tigers were loaded with four first-round draft picks. And the prospects shined: Both Derek Hill and Riley Greene hit home runs and made fine defensive plays. Zack Godley started on the mound and pitched one inning, giving up one run, off two walks and a hit.
