Casey Mize spun 7.2 innings of three hit, one run ball, and a pair of home runs by Eric Haase and one by Jonathan Schoop paced the Tigers to a 4- 1 victory in Seattle. This might go down as the day that Mize broke out, pitching the best game of his young career.
The Tigers loaded the bases in the first inning on a single by Jeimer Candelario and a pair of walks to Miguel Cabrera and Niko Goodrum but Wilson Ramos struck out to end the threat. Seattle put a pair of runners on with a single by rookie sensation Jared Kelenic and a walk to Mitch Haniger.
