West Palm Beach, Fla. – Catcher Austin Romine sat down with Jordan Zimmermann before the game to map out some kind of game plan against the Nationals Sunday morning.
"He was saying, 'Let's go in with the two-seamer, then slider here, this there, this and this,'" Zimmermann said. "I just said, 'I'll tell you what, you just put your fingers down and I will throw whatever you want.'"
And that's exactly how it went as Zimmermann threw four quick shutout innings in the Tigers' 7-5 Grapefruit League win against the defending World Series champs.
