DUNEDIN, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-3, on Monday at TD Ballpark, falling to 9-11 in Grapefruit League play.
What happened
Trying to put the finishing touches on securing a roster spot, right-hander Julio Teheran started and made 30 pitches (21 strikes) across two innings. He departed early for precautionary reasons involved with back tightness. He gave up a leadoff homer to Marcus Semien but then retired the next six batters. The Tigers scored three runs in the second inning. The first two came on a throwing error from Semien, prompted by Rule 5 pick Akil Baddoo's steal with runners on the corners.
