The Tigers missed an opportunity to pounce on their opponent Saturday, getting shut out for the second game in a row by a score of 7-0 for its third-straight loss in Oakland. Casey Mize did not live up to his billing against the A’s, getting shelled early before settling in for a few innings, but the damage had already been done at the end of the day. Couple that with an offense that seemingly requires a pallet of Viagra to find any sense of potency, Detroit was doomed to yet another loss.
Sunday is a new day and a fresh 24 hours brings new hope as the Motor City Kitties send their ace pitcher to the mound against a grizzled veteran who has been holding his own in his seventh major league season.
