After Boyd recorded two outs, the Blue Jays managed to load the bases and add three more runs when Mikie Mahtook bobbled Freddy Galvis’s bases-clearing single in center field, as Galvis took third base. Smoak would help the Blue Jays expand their lead as he delivered a two-run single in the seventh.The Tigers offense failed to gain any real traction despite two extra-base hits and otherwise good swings from Nicholas Castellanos, owner of three of the Tigers’ six hits through two games. For startersSave for his rough fourth inning, Boyd put together a solid performance over five innings. He surrendered five hits and walked one while striking out 10 batters. The biggest highlight came as Boyd struck out the side in the first inning to strand a leadoff triple.The Blue Jays’ big offensive day would prove to be more than enough for Matt Shoemaker, a Trenton, Mich. native and Eastern Michigan University graduate. Building upon a track record of dominance against the Tigers that goes back to his days with the Los Angeles Angels, Shoemaker continued the trend; he surrendered just two hits and struck out seven over seven scoreless innings.Sweet(?) reliefBuck Farmer, despite walking a batter Sonny Gray Jersey , managed a clean sixth inning of work with decent life on his fastball. Blaine Hardy, working the seventh, was less fortunate, as he surrendered two runs on two hits and a walk.Reed Garrett, the Tigers’ selection in the 2018 Rule 5 draft, made his MLB debut on Friday. Touching 95 miles per hour or above with each of his first five pitches, he recorded a perfect eighth inning that saw him earn his first major league strikeout while topping out at 97 mph on the gun and showing good life on his slider.On deckThe Tigers will continue their opening series with the Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon.

A few faces—both old and new—had encouraging performances.JoseUrena tossed a solid two innings before running into trouble in the third. After starting the game with a leadoff walk, he went through the rest of the 1st inning in order, and capped it off with a strikeout of Carlos Correa. His defense put him in trouble during the second inning however. Three different Marlins committed errors in the inning, which contributed to two unearned runs scoring. Three of Urena’s four runs were unearned. His lone blunder was a pickoff attempt to second base that sailed into the outfield, allowing Michael Brantley to reach third and eventually score.The Marlins ace said he wants to work on incorporating his breaking ball earlier in games this spring and leading into the regular season:Despite only conjuring one run, there was some positives out of the lineup. MiguelRojas and GarrettCooper combined for four hits, all coming against JustinVerlander. Cooper, who many had written off as a potential starting outfielder, has shown some promising at-bats this spring. He served as the Opening Day starting right fielder last year, but a wrist injury in the second game of the season sidelined him for all but 14 games. Although it’s too soon to tell if he’ll reclaim that spot with Peter O’Brien also competing for it http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey , Don Mattingly acknowledged his hot start.“He’s actually looking better than I thought he would this spring, after not really playing at all last year.I’ve been pleasantly surprised. His timing looks good, he’s bounced back,” Mattingly said. The Marlin bullpen threw 6 1? innings of shutout ball, including an inning from “Touchdown” TommyEveld and two from ZacGallen. Gallen came over from St. Louis in the Marcell Ozuna trade and spent the 2018 season with Triple-A New Orleans. In ranking him the No. 19 Marlins prospect entering this spring, Baseball America described him as having a low 90s fastball, maxing out around 94 miles per hour. But on Thursday, Gallen threw six pitches at 96 MPH and topped out at 97 MPH. The 23-year-old is having a solid spring, one year removed from disastrous Grapefruit League results (18 ER, 4.1 IP).In the post-game clubhouse, Gallen was pleased about taking baby steps toward a major league regular season opportunity:The Fish travel up to Port St. Lucie on Friday.
