Red Wings pitchers gave up five home runs Wednesday in a 10-1 loss to the Pawtucket Red Sox in spring training action from Ft. Myers, Florida. This was the Red Wings first normal exhibition game since Saturday. The previous three days had been intrasquad contests due to bad weather.

Brooks Raley, who is likely to begin the season in the Red Wings rotation, started Wednesday and went four innings allowing just one run - a solo homer to Alex Hassan.

Yohan Pino followed Raley and yielded four runs in two innings including a two-run shot to Daniel Nava. Virgil Vasquez and Mark Hamburger combined to go the rest of the way allowing three more homers.

Evan Bigley delivered the only run with an RBI single in the 7th that scored Brad Nelson who reached on a double.

Dan Rohlfing added two singles and Deibinson Romero, Eric Farris and Danny Santana each chipped in a base hit.
