LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- Johnny Damon had a home run and two RBIs, and Ryan Raburn went 4 for 4 with two doubles in leading the Detroit Tigers to a 6-2 victory over the New York Yankees in a matchup of split squads Saturday.
Dontrelle Willis allowed one run in three innings in his first spring start for Detroit.
Damon hit a solo homer off Sergio Mitre to spark a three-run fifth. The Tigers also scored three times in the second off Yankees starter Chad Gaudin.
Raburn doubled in Clete Thomas to open the scoring. With the bases full and two out, Gaudin hit Brandon Inge with a pitch and Damon singled to make it 3-0.
Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter and Francisco Cervelli each had two hits for New York.
