As they generally do after a loss, the Detroit Tigers responded by bludgeoning the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Casey Mize threw a good game, and the Tigers pounded four home runs to win pretty comfortably despite a few late runs for Minnesota. The rubber match in the series has been moved to a night game on ESPN, which irritates me, but Tarik Skubal deserves the center stage as the Tigers look to take another series against an AL Central rival.
Casey Mize still hasn’t recaptured the groove he was in before his hamstring injury in May, but he has been rounding back toward that form recently.
