LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Detroit Tigers optioned the contracts of four top prospects to the minors after Friday night’s 4-4, 10-inning tie with the Atlanta Braves.

Outfielders Casper Wells and Brennan Boesch and first baseman-outfielder Ryan Strieby were sent to Triple-A Toledo, and infielder Audy Ciriaco was assigned to Double-A Erie.

Jeremy Bonderman started and allowed two earned runs in three innings, walking two and striking out a pair. He gave up four hits. Johnny Damon and Jeff Larish hit homers for the Tigers.
