Curtis Granderson played six seasons with the Detroit Tigers.

In all, he hit 102 homers wearing the cap with the stylized old English D. His best year going deep with the Tigers was 2009 when he hit 30.

And leading off Saturday for the Toronto Blue Jays against Tigers Mike Fiers, Granderson went deep for his fourth homer of the spring.

There was plenty of content in the Tigers' dugout with Daniel Pinero (Toronto, Ont.) who played at class-A West Michigan was on the trip to Dunedin along with Jim Adduci (Burnaby, BC). Last year, besides time with the Tigers, Adduci hit .288, with four homers and 27 RBIs at triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. INF Pinero batted .289, with four homers and 56 RBIs for the Whitecaps.

RP John Axford (Simcoe, Ont.) tips his cap after the fans applauded his entrance in the fifth inning. Axford struck out Alexii Amarista, Sergio Alcantara and Jacoby Jones. Sanford was 0-1 with a 6.43 ERAA in 22 games with the Oakland A’s. He walked 17 and struck out 21 in 21 innings.

RP Andrew Case (Saint John, NB) came on for an old fashioned save in the ninth. After a pair of singles by Pete Kozma and Mike Gerber, Case came on to retire Grayson Greiner on a ground ball and get a hand shake from C Danny Jansen.
