Lakeland, Fla. – Nobody remembers the dress rehearsal.
Jordan Zimmermann, whose next start will be Opening Day at Comerica Park Thursday against the Pirates, will be glad of that.
He ended what has been a superb spring training with a 93-pitch, five-inning grind in the Tigers’ 4-1 loss to the Phillies on Saturday.
“The slider was the only thing that was a little off,” he said. “The curve ball was good and I threw some good change-ups. The fastball command was there. But I think I gave up five hits on 0-2 counts.
