Phillies 6 - Tigers 5: Justin Verlander cruises, Bruce Rondon busts out 100-mph heater in spring debut.
mlive

Verlander topped out at 93 mph and consistently touched 91-92 mph on the radar gun. He only struck out one batter, but pounded the strike zone, throwing 21 of his 28 pitches for strikes.

Nathan left a lot of pitches high in the zone and his fastball regularly touched the low 90s. He battled command with his offspeed pitches and topped out at 91 mph.

Wearing a bandage on his right thumb, Tigers setup man Joakim Soria struck out one batter and walked another in the fourth inning. It was his first appearance since he developed a blister on this thumb earlier this week.
