Lakeland, Fla. — Spring camp’s surprises, to date, could be tucked neatly within the Tigers’ vest pocket a week before they head north for their 2018 regular season.
But some of the gang that has shaken up an otherwise staid spring training at TigerTown continue to create a ruckus. Consider that Grapefruit League contest Tuesday on a windy, sometimes-wet afternoon, which saw the Tigers whip the Yankees, 8-3, at Joker Marchant Stadium’s Publix Field.
New center fielder Leonys Martin was on base three times and stole two bases, while Victor Reyes, the Rule 5 pick and outfielder, had a double and two singles.
