Casey Mize Fires Seven Strong Innings On Thursday
3 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize had his best and longest outing of the month against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. Mize pitched seven innings and allowed four hits, two walks and one unearned run while striking out two. He earned the win to improve to 6-5 on the year. Mize had been held under five innings and under 80 pitches in each of his previous four outings. He threw 88 pitches on Thursday. The Tigers will continue to manage his load closely going forward, but he may continue to sneak in a few seven-inning starts like this one. He now has a 3.41 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP over 20 starts on the year. He'll make his next start on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox.
