Game 14: Tigers at Mets (1:05 pm ET)
RHP Jacob deGrom will start for the Mets. He pitched two scoreless innings last Saturday against the Astros, reaching 97 mph with his fastball. It was deGrom's first game action since having surgery at the end of last season to fix the ulnar nerve in his elbow. Terry Collins and pitching coach Dan Warthen both said after the game that they were happy with how deGrom is throwing this spring...
LHP Anibal Sanchez will start for the Tigers. In two starts this spring, he has struggled, allowing seven runs and nine hits in just 2.2 innings of work. Sanchez, who also had a difficult 2016, is due at least $21.8 million through the next two seasons.
