Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize stepped onto the mound at Comerica Park with a new look. His hair curled out of the back of his hat in his debut Wednesday, but he returned for his second big-league start Monday with a fresh cut.
His command must've gotten lost in the process.
The 23-year-old cruised through the first inning with strikeouts of Anthony Rizzo with his splitter and Javier Baez with his cutter, but labored the rest of the way as the Tigers (11-16) took a 9-3 loss against the Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs (18-10) hit two home runs in the fourth inning to chase Mize and spark a four-run frame.
