Tigers Fall To Marlins 4-2
By CHUCK KING/Associated Press
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - Dan Haren pitched four scoreless innings and Marcel Ozuna hit his first home run of the spring in the Miami Marlins 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
Haren struck out two and only experienced trouble in the third, when he allowed singles to James McCann and Andrew Romine to open the inning. He worked out of the jam thanks in large part to Dee Gordon's smooth turn of a double play at second.
Haren threw 38 of his 58 pitches for strikes on a warm, muggy afternoon that saw the temperature climb into the mid 80s.
Ozuna homered off Alfredo Simon in the fourth.
Dee Gordon stole two bases, each one leading to a run. Giancarlo Stanton had a sacrifice fly and an RBI single.
Simon hadn't allowed an earned run in his first two spring starts before Miami touched him for three. He allowed three hits, a walk and hit a batter while throwing 53 pitches over four innings.
