Oh, Mize! Tigers' top prospect throws no-hitter in his Double-A debut

Those baseball fans in Erie, Pa., sure are gonna be treated to some fantastic pitching this season.

Last week, the SeaWolves — the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, in their 25th year — celebrated the third no-hitter in club history, with one of the organization's top prospects, Alex Faedo, throwing the front seven innings.

And on Monday, they celebrated the fourth.

Casey Mize, the No. 1 overall draft pick last June and the consensus top prospect in the Tigers' system, made his Erie debut in grand style, tossing the complete-game no-hitter. He allowed just two base runners, a hit batter in the first, and a walk in the seventh.
