Tigers All-Star Mize Allows Six Runs in Seattle Loss

Casey Mize, a Detroit Tigers All-Star and former first overall draft pick, has experienced a career resurgence after being written off by fans in previous years. He was recently named an American League replacement for the All-Star Game and expressed support for fellow Tiger Spencer Torkelson, who has also overcome setbacks. Despite this success, Mize struggled in his final start before the All-Star break, allowing six runs in three innings during a 15-7 loss to the Seattle Mariners, snapping a streak of nine straight starts with three or fewer runs allowed. The defeat marked the Tigers' second consecutive heavy loss to the Mariners, highlighting ongoing team challenges. Mize still maintains solid season stats, including a 3.15 ERA and a 9-3 record, and remains a key figure in the Tigers' pitching staff. Meanwhile, teammates like Zach McKinstry continue to contribute offensively, with McKinstry hitting a two-run homer in the recent game.
