Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander had a rocky start on Sunday.
Verlander gave up three home runs in four and a third innings, allowing five runs on five hits.
Michael Taylor homered off of Verlander to start the third and fifth innings. Ian Stewart added a home run to start the fourth inning.
Verlander also struggled with his control, throwing just 48 strikes in 79 pitches and walking two. He has a 6.08 ERA this spring, with five home runs in 13 and a third innings.
Despite the long balls, Verlander said his fastball was the best he's had since a start in Seattle on May 30 of last season, per Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press.
