Things were somewhat quiet around the Tigers’ farm system on Monday, as both Toledo and Erie were idle. Casey Mize was named the Eastern League’s Pitcher of the Week because duh, while Christin Stewart has looked good to go down in Lakeland and should rejoin the Tigers shortly. Franklin Perez is throwing again in extended spring training games, while Ulrich Bojarski continued his rain of terror for the West Michigan Whitecaps. Let’s get into Monday’s action.
Elvin Rodriguez wasn’t particularly good in game one on Monday’s double-header, but he was effective. Rodriguez held the Frogs scoreless over 5 2⁄3 innings despite issuing four free passes.
