MINNEAPOLIS — Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch granted rookie Casey Mize a fourth inning in Wednesday's game, allowing him to surpass the 150-inning milestone to conclude his first full season.
Fellow rookie Tarik Skubal received the same opportunity.
But Skubal couldn't reach the milestone, falling short at 149u2153 innings over 31 games (29 starts) in the completion of his first full year in the big leagues. Pitching under strict workload restrictions since the beginning of September, Skubal has been limited to three or four innings.
The Minnesota Twins tagged the 24-year-old left-hander for three home runs to produce five runs against him.
