Braves at the plate: Atlanta put on a power display against Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman with a three-run first inning, fueled by back-to-back home runs from Jeff Francoeur and Casey Kotchman. David Ross added a solo homer in the seventh.

Tigers at the plate: Placido Polanco's first-inning solo homer started the Tigers on their way back. Marcus Thames doubled home another tally and scored on Brandon Inge's two-run homer in the second to put Detroit ahead. Curtis Granderson's infield single plated Thames to put the Tigers ahead for good.

Braves pitching: Starter Javier Vazquez overcame his rough second inning to pitch four scoreless innings after that. He gave up four runs over his six innings before Blaine Boyer gave up the go-ahead run in the seventh.

Tigers pitching: Starter Jeremy Bonderman, trying to build arm strength in his first Major League start of Spring Training, struggled with the long ball and left with one out in the second inning, having thrown close to his 65-pitch limit. He retired just four of the eight batters he faced. Bobby Seay tossed 1 2/3 perfect innings before Zach Miner, a starting candidate again with Bonderman unlikely to start the season on time, lasted 3 2/3 innings before giving up his lone run on Ross' homer.

Grapefruit League records: Braves 17-10; Tigers 12-14-1.

Up next: Armando Galarraga will make his first Spring Training start since returning from the World Baseball Classic on Monday, when the Tigers make their final road trip of the Grapefruit League for a 1:05 p.m. ET game against the Nationals at Space Coast Stadium. Shairon Martis is scheduled to start for Washington.
