Casey Mize couldn't get out of his own way.
The Detroit Tigers' rookie right-hander plunked three batters, walked two more and put himself in trouble each inning. He ran his pitch count up to 67 through three frames, which was enough for manager Ron Gardenhire to keep him from returning in the fourth.
"I enjoy my job," Gardenhire said Sunday. "And if I left him out there for any more, (general manager) Al (Avila) would not be very happy with me."
