Is this what a strong, functioning Tigers club looks like? One where the pitching works, the offense shows up, and the team are really fun to watch? This is a preview of things to come for the Tigers over the coming seasons, and I think we can agree this was a fun, fun game, and I’d like a million more just like it.
It was set to be a battle between strong starting pitching with Casey Mize squaring off against Jack Flaherty. Since they were playing in St. Louis, it would also be Mize’s first time taking hacks from the batter’s box.
