Detroit – The Tigers might need to resort to sorcery or some other form of black magic to break the hex against the Oakland Athletics.
Or, failing that, try stringing a few hits together and scoring some runs.
The Athletics rode three well-struck early home runs off rookie Casey Mize on their way to a breezy 7-0 win over the Tigers in Oakland Saturday. It was their third straight win in the series and improved their record over Detroit to 21-2 going back to 2017.
“That’s two days in a row we haven’t scored a run,” manager AJ Hinch said.
