It has been an awfully long time since Casey Mize has played a game in Comerica Park, and it was apparent this afternoon he was feeling the weight of his past performances as he wanted to come out and dazzle in front of a hometown crowd.
The Rangers sent out Jon Gray, and it became evident through the early innings that this was not shaping up to be a hot-bat kind of day.
The Rangers went 1-2-3 in the top of the first, but the Tigers did the exact same thing in the bottom of the inning.
