Happy birthday, Casey Mize! For his 28th, he was taking the mound against the Angels (anyone else feel like we’ve had a lot of west coast games early this season?) The Angels had Yusei Kikuchi up in their rotation.
Would Mize walk away with a win on his big day? Well, let’s just see what happened...
In the top of the first, Gleyber Torres took a one-out walk, but two outs followed to leave him stranded. In the home half, Mize got three outs in a row, a great first gift of the game for him.
The Tigers went 1-2-3 in the top of the second.
