Cold Weather Doesn't Bother Porcello

--RHP Rick Porcello is one of the keys to Detroit's season, and manager Jim Leyland has been pumping him up all spring. "I think Rick Porcello is going to have a real good year for us," Leyland said after the pitcher allowed two runs on seven hits in seven innings Tuesday against Tampa Bay. "I've said that all winter. He's matured right before our very eyes." Porcello noted the 42-degree weather and occasional snow bursts were something he pitched in at Seton Hall Prep in New Jersey.

--3B Miguel Cabrera is off to a hot start in defense of his league batting title. Cabrera was walked twice, once intentionally, and had a double in two official at-bats Tuesday. Cabrera was also partially responsible for Detroit's first run. He was at bat in the third inning with runners on first and third when a changeup by LHP Matt Moore bounced in the dirt and got past C Jose Molina, allowing Austin Jackson to scoot home.
