Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Tigers win 10-3 over the Cardinals to improve to 11-1-3 this spring.

The pitching breakdown:
Wilk 3 innings 3 runs 6 hits 2 walks 1 k.
Oliver 2 innings 0 runs 1 hit 0 walks 1 k.
Smyly 4 innings 0 runs 1 hit 2 walks 4 k's.

5th starter comments from web;
Three 5th-starter candidates pitched...Wilk started, labored thru 3IP, Oliver & Smyly both impressed - Oliver in 2IP, Smyly in 4IP.
Oliver might be the leading candidate but Smyly is close behind him. 4 innings of shutout ball today for Drew. The dark horse might win.

offensive highights:
Young was 2-2 with dbl, HR and 4RBI...now hitting .518 with 3HR and 15RBI in 27AB. Fielder was 3-3 with RBI.
Raburn stays hot - hit his 5th HR...he has 15RBI in just 21AB. Cabrera was 2-3, Jackson 1-3, hit ball hard all 3AB.
