The pitching and defense were generally quite good, while the offense flashed power from new sources. Sunday it added up to a 5-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in Lakeland.
Spencer Turnbull, the Tigers de facto number one starter, looked good again. He went four innings as the process of stretching out the starters continues, punching out four and walking two, while allowing one earned run. Turnbull set down six in a row to begin his outing, then got a little help from his defenders in the third.
