Pelfrey retired all nine batters he faced in Sunday's spring training win over the Mets, and he displayed increased velocity, MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was a much-needed outing for Pelfrey, who had allowed eight earned runs in his previous six innings pitched this spring. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said the veteran increased his velocity to 93-94 mph, and commended the control he had over his pitches. Pelfrey is still unlikely to crack the Tigers' rotation, and even earning a bullpen spot is in doubt, but performances like this do help the cause.
