Meadows hits three-run homer, Tigers beat Jays 4-1
1 minute read Yesterday at 8:03 PM CDTDUNEDIN, Fla. - Parker Meadows hit a three-run homer in the top of the third inning and the Detroit Tigers coasted to a 4-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in a spring training game on Saturday at TD Ballpark.
The Tigers (13-16) scored all four of their runs in the third, thanks to a Blue Jays' throwing error and inexperienced pitching.
Ryan Kreidler of the Tigers reached first in the third inning on a throwing error by Jays' third baseman Max Chapman. Zack Short was then hit by a Sem Robberse pitch.
Jake Rogers then doubled, scoring Kreidler and moving Short to third. And then with two runners on base Meadows hit a home run to make it 4-0.

1 minute read Preview Friday, Mar. 24, 2023Big league pitchers can signal electronically what they plan to throw this year.
Major League Baseball expanded use of the PitchCom device to pitchers in addition to catchers on Friday.
“Use of the PitchCom device is optional for clubs and wholly voluntary for players,” MLB said in a memo to teams. “The decision of one club to not use the PitchCom device shall not preclude their opposing club from using the PitchCom device.”
MLB adopted the PitchCom device last season, allowing catchers to push buttons on wristbands to call for fastballs, curves, changeups and anything else, along with the location. The pitcher heard the result on an earpiece inside his hat.

1 minute read Preview Thursday, Mar. 23, 2023NORTH PORT, Fla. (AP) — Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias will open the season on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, the team said Thursday.
The Braves say an MRI showed the right-hander has “low-grade” inflammation and will not throw for seven days.
Iglesias was expected to move into the closer's role after Kenley Jansen signed with the Boston Red Sox. Iglesias, 33, had a combined 17 saves last season for the Los Angeles Angels and Atlanta.
With the Braves, Iglesias allowed only one earned run in 28 appearances for a 0.34 ERA with one save while serving mainly in a set-up role for Jansen.
