LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) _ Roger Clemens gave up four runs on three hits and three walks. Sounds like the Detroit Tigers lit him up.

Not really.

An RBI double by Juan Gonzolez was the hardest ball hit off Clemens. But the Tigers scored four runs off Mike Grace in the sixth and beat the New York Yankees 8-2 on Wednesday.

Clemens (1-2) actually was fairly impressive in his third outing of the spring. He worked the first five innings, retiring the Tigers in order in the fourth and fifth.

``I felt strong,'' Clemens said. ``The fifth inning, I wanted to turn a few balls loose and was able to do that. I think it was a good trip. I'm working on some stuff. I've got to find out where some pitches are, regardless of scores, inning or count.''

Yankees manager Joe Torre thought Clemens, who was 14-10 last season and won the clinching game of the World Series championship against Atlanta, looked just fine.

``His stuff was great,'' Torre said. ``Once he got his command, I thought he was just terrific. Put it in context, though. We're still in spring training.''

The Tigers had three hits, a walk and a hit batter in the four-run inning off Grace, who split last season between Triple-A Scanton of the International League and the Philadelphia Phillies.

Javier Cardona hit a solo homer, his first, off Domingo Jean in the Detroit eighth.

``Cardona is a young catcher I like a lot,'' Detroit manager Phil Garner said. ``He's a player we're going to send down. But we're going to send him down to play. We like him.''

Winner Brian Moehler turned in his best performance of the spring, giving up one run and five hits in four innings., He ended a bases-loaded threat in the third by striking out Shane Spencer.

The game drew a record crowd of 7,440 at Joker Marchant Stadium, 20 more than the crowd that saw the Tigers and Yankees last March 25.
