LAKELAND, Florida (Ticker) — Andy Van Hekken worked three scoreless innings in his spring debut and Bobby Higginson had two hits and an RBI, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 5-4 victory over a split squad of Boston Red Sox in Grapefruit League action.

Van Hekken followed starter Gary Knotts, who gave up one run and three hits in two innings for the win. Higginson went 2-for-2 and Eric Munson added an RBI for the Tigers.

Red Sox starter Brandon Lyon surrendered two runs and four hits in two innings. Lou Merloni hit a solo homer and Shea Hillenbrand added two hits and an RBI for the Red Sox.
