Tigers 6, Reds 2

The Tigers beat the Reds 6-2 in lovely Lakeland.

Bronson Arroyo's gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings.

He was glad to get his ERA above 0.00.

"You don't want to mow through spring," he said. "It was good to pitch out of the stretch, make my body work."

Adam Dunn hit a Kenny Rogers' pitch over the palms trees behind the right field fence for a home run in the fourth. Dunn is hitting .441 with the three homers and eight RBI. Chris Denorfia doubled home the club's other run in the fifth. The Reds only had six hits on the day.

Paul Wilson gave up two runs in the three innings of work. It's looking more and more like Wilson's going to need some time in Triple-A, if he's going to continue his comeback.

Jerry Narron wasn't happy with the two errors -- one by Norris Hopper, another by Edwin Encarnacion.

"We've got to play clean baseball," he said.
