Quick hits

Evan Reed's two perfect innings continued his quietly dominant Spring Training, now up to six innings of two-hit, one-run ball with no walks and eight strikeouts. Reed is out of Minor League options, which is how the Tigers acquired him from the Marlins out of Spring Training a year ago, so he's making a case for a bullpen spot.

Tyler Collins' game-tying home run on Sunday was just the third homer on the season for the Tigers. They're still tied for last in the Majors in home runs, while challenging for the big league lead in stolen bases.

Andy Dirks' microdisectomy surgery on his back will take place Monday in St. Petersburg. The outfielder is expected to be limited in movement for the next three weeks and sidelined from baseball action until June.
