Lakeland, Fla. — Talk about getting your work in.
Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen’s day Tuesday started with an eight-pitch at-bat against Raimel Tapia of the Red Sox — which ended in a home run to right field off a 3-2 changeup — and then an 11-pitch at-bat against rookie Triston Casas.
“It’s taxing,” said Lorenzen, who ended up throwing 69 pitches to 13 batters — with 26 of those pitches getting fouled off — pitching in four different innings and getting eight outs in the Tigers’ 6-2 spring win over the Red Sox at Joker Marchant Stadium.
