Special to Detroit Free Press
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch gave Casey Mize a chance to pitch into the eighth inning for the first time in his career Monday. For Mize, it still wasn’t enough.
Mize wanted to finish off the inning, so he got a little ticked when he saw Hinch strolling to the mound and summoning for Gregory Soto to enter. Mize had just struck out the previous two batters after giving up a solo homer to Tom Murphy.
"I will never be mad when a pitcher is frustrated coming out of the game,” Hinch said after the Tigers’ 4-1 victory over Seattle.
