Tigers 2, Yankees 2: Jordan Zimmermann records his best outing of the spring

The Detroit Tigers, behind all-around strong pitching performances, earned a tie in their latest Grapefruit League action against the New York Yankees. The two teams played to a 2-2 deadlock on Tuesday.

Zimmermann Shines

Turning in his best performance of the spring, Zimm looked very comfortable over five shutout innings, allowing only two hits while striking out four. His fourth inning, which saw him relying more on his slider and less of his fastball while recording back-to-back strikeouts of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, followed by a Gary Sanchez groundout, was possibly the most encouraging spot of today’s outing.
