Game Recap for Spring Game 3, Jays and Tigers
We win 2 in a row thanks to Dontrelle Willis who gave up 4 runs in an inning an a bit. Final score was 6-4. Guys that did well? Jason Lane! ( yay) hit a his second home run in two days. Adam Loewen hit a single. Kevin Millar was 1 for 2 with a double and a run and RBI. And Scott Rolen went 1 for 2 in his first action of the spring.
On the pitching side, Matt Clement started, gave up a hit, two walks, a run while striking out one. Not the best showing but just his first time out. Brad Mills pitched two good innings giving up just one hit. Jeremy Accardo pitched two shutout innings as well but gave up three hits. Another favorite around here Dirk Hayhurst pitched a good inning and struck out 2.
Brian Wolfe didn't show as well, allowing 4 hits and a homer, to give up 3 earned runs in his inning of work. On the Tiger side, former Jay Garth Iorg's son Cale made three errors. As noted Willis had a rough time and their starter Armando Galarraga gave up a hit, 2 walks and a run in his two innings.
Players that helped their case: Lane, Mills, Loewen and Hayhurst. Wolfe has hurt his chances a little but it was his first action.
Tomorrow Doc gets his first game action and BJ Ryan is to pitch an inning against Atlanta. The game is on Gameday Audio using the FAN feed.

Wolfe
has had good numbers the last two seasons but competition is pretty fierce for that righty spot in the bullpen and he may find himself in AAA unless there is a trade. If he was in AAA, I wonder if they’d try him as a starter again – Vegas’ rotation picture is going to look a little crowded, I think.
Sounds like Rolen hit that double well, that was good to hear. Rince, you must’ve been happy to hear Lane go yard again. Thing with him, he always puts up good minor-league numbers, question is can he hit consistently good pitching?
Tough day for Cale. I remember reading that both Iorg boys were really raw, though talented, which is pretty rare for kids of major-leaguers. Scout chalked it up to their missing time doing their LDS missionary thing.
Go Dirk!

I hoping Cito's love of power will get Lane noticed....
I can’t see Wolfe making the team. Too many better arms. Gotta think Hayhurst will pass him by on the depth chart if he keeps putting up zeros with a strikeout or two an inning.
I'd take Wolfe
over Camp or Burres. Of course, I don’t see either of them making the team either.
