Tigers pitcher Drew Smyly, who will join the Tigers' rotation in 2014 after pitching in relief last season, took the hill during Wednesday's spring opener against the Braves. Smyly lasted two innings, allowing one run on two hits and one walk.
Smyly had a 1-2-3 first inning, which included a strikeout of Freddie Freeman. He opened the second inning by retiring the first two hitters, which included a strikeout of Evan Gattis. However, Chris Johnson hit a two-out double and he scored on Dan Uggla's single. Smyly walked Andrelton Simmons before getting Jordan Schafer to ground out to end the inning.
