Tigers-Pirates, bottom of eighth

You don't want your regulars getting hurt this late in spring training, which is why both teams have used an extensive number of minor-league players today.
Doug Mientkiewicz draws a one-out walk against Anthony Tomey.
Mientkiewicz has been a stand-up guy all spring, and could provide a solid boost to a team in need of an ego elevation. The Pirates have seemed to know they're bad for too many years.
Doesn't man they're going to win a lot more games, but maybe they can pull out more of the one-run variety.
We're going to the ninth with the Pirates leading 7-3.
