Detroit — Tigers rookie Casey Mize was pulling himself out of trouble inning after inning Wednesday night. Tough way to do it against a team as patient and potent as the Red Sox — and they ultimately made him pay, riding three home runs to a 4-1 win at Comerica Park.
Mize was mostly unscathed through four innings. The one blemish, he left a 2-1 two-seam fastball (93 mph) out over the plate to former Tiger J.D. Martinez leading off the second inning. The result was familiar. He drove it 401 feet over the wall in right-center.
