Pop Quiz Time! Who holds the record for most hits by a Venezuelan born player in MLB history? If you guessed, Omar Vizquel, you would have been correct until about two hours ago. Next when was the last time the Tigers won a series? You’d have to think back a month ago, at least you did until about 15 minutes ago as Soto got the final out to cap off a 4-2 Tigers win over the Royals.
Casey Mize turned in another quality start in this one, his third straight. He battled some wildness in the first inning, letting the first two Royals on with a hit-by-pitch and a walk, then he gave up a double that had some fans worrying if he would recover or roll over tonight.
