CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Daniel Fields, J.D. Martinez and Steven Moya hit homers to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 6-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.
Tigers starter Alfredo Simon tossed three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out two. Simon, an All-Star with Cincinnati last year, was acquired in an offseason trade to bolster a rotation that lost Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello. He hasn't allowed a run in five innings this spring.
Field ripped an opposite-field, two-run shot over the bullpen onto the walkway beyond the wall in left-center in the second inning off Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez.
Martinez and Moya connected for solo shots off Sean O'Sullivan in the sixth. After Ian Kinsler tripled in the third, Jose Iglesias hit an RBI ground-rule double off Gonzalez's knee.
