Rick Porcello tossed four scoreless innings, and four relievers combined to keep the shutout as the Tigers beat the Mets, 9-0.

Porcello allowed three hits and a walk while striking out four. Luis Marte followed on the mound, going two innings while allowing just a hit. Brayan Villarreal and Chris Bootcheck also added shutout innings, as all three relievers kept their spring ERA a perfect 0.00. Octavio Dotel also threw an inning.

At the plate, we saw both Delmon Young and Andy Dirks have two-hit games. Young had a pair of RBI. Clete Thomas had a triple.
