PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Anibal Sanchez and Matt Boyd are both competing for spots at the back end of the Detroit Tigers' pitching rotation.
Both were featured in similar sample sizes during the Tigers' 5-5 tie against the New York Mets Thursday at First Data Field.
The right-handed Sanchez started it and the left-handed Boyd finished it. Reviews were a bit mixed, but as a pitching staff overall, the Tigers made a little progress compared to their recent disappointments.
