LAKELAND, Florida (Ticker) -- Jeff Weaver and Tony Clark continued strong springs as the Detroit Tigers posted an 8-5 Grapefruit League victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

Weaver, who was named the Tigers' Opening Day starter earlier this week, allowed one run and four hits over six innings, walking none and striking out six before leaving without a decision.

Coming off a disappointing seaon in which he went 11-15, Weaver is 2-0 with a sparkling 1.13 ERA in four spring starts.

Clark, trying to rebound from an injury-plagued season, homered in the sixth inning off Dennys Reyes. The powerful first baseman is batting .411 (14-for-34) with three homers and 10 RBI this spring.

Rob Fick and Billy McMillon also homered for Detroit.

Cincinnati starter Osvaldo Fernandez gave up two runs and four hits in five innings, walking two and striking out none.

Dmitri Young belted a two-run homer for the Reds.
