Tigers 4, Royals 2: Miggy goes for three

I have a very clear memory of recapping a game last season between the Tigers and the Astros that featured a matchup between Casey Mize and Zack Greinke. In that game I also remember losing my mind watching Greinke pitch a 30-ish mph eephus pitch. Anyway, it was delightful and this is a very roundabout way of saying this is not the first time these two pitchers have squared off against each other.

Casey Mize would probably be the first to tell you his initial start for the Tigers this season was not a very good outing. Tonight, he seemed to be feeling more confident, and while not the performance I think fans would ultimately like to see from him, he had much better stuff than his first…
