The Detroit Tigers will return to Lakeland on Monday to take on the Atlanta Braves in Grapefruit League exhibition play.
The Detroit Tigers will return to Joker Marchant stadium on Monday afternoon after a 5-2 road defeat to the New York Mets on Sunday. Matt Boyd worked two innings of scoreless ball with two strikeouts, but Buck Farmer, Daniel Stumpf, Angel Nesbitt, and Kyle Ryan all allowed runs in relief.
