Jeff Byrd did not have the kind of start you want when you are competing for a rotation spot. Other than Pete Vuckovich, no starting spot is guaranteed and this is two bad starts for Byrd in a row.
Mike Willis also struggled in relief for the first time this spring.
In Dan Meyer's debut with the Blue Jays he went 0 for 3, but got an RBI.
Detroit won 9-5.
WP - Bob Sykes (1-0)
LP - Jeff Byrd (0-2)
Spring Record - 6-6
