Tigers 6, Twins 1: A satisfying series win
Bruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY SportsAfter splitting the first two games of a three-game weekend series in Minnesota, on Sunday the Tigers bounced back from some questionable fielding the day before to seal the series victory with a nice, easy 6-1 win.
All eyes have been on Casey Mize this spring, tracking his continuing injury recovery. Early returns have been promising: he gave up exactly five hits in his first three starts, but limited power to a single home run. (Will he give up five hits today? Stay tuned to find out.) He’s generally been keeping his walks in check; after Tommy John surgery, sometimes your control takes a while to come back. The stuff, at least, has looked very good.
