Another dominant outing from a rejuvenated Casey Mize led the way on Saturday. Spencer Torkelson landed the decisive blow yet again, crushing his seventh home run of the season, and the Tigers made it three straight over the Royals with a 3-1 victory to run their record to 13-8 on the young season.
The Tigers entered Saturday’s matchup with the Royals at Comerica Park looking to take their fifth series victory out of seven played this season. That would set them up to hunt the sweep on Sunday with Tarik Skubal getting the start. With Casey Mize on the mound, their chances seemed very good despite a quality starter on the other side in Seth Lugo.
