Casey Mize blanked the Guardians for seven innings Saturday to earn his ninth win as the Tigers prevailed 1-0.
Mize allowed four hits, walked two and struck out four in his third straight win. As effective as he’s been this year, this is the first time he’s gone without allowing a run since his opener against the Mariners on Apr. 1. His only other career start of at least seven scoreless innings came on Apr. 12, 2021 against the Astros. Mize is tied for third in the majors in wins, and he would be 12th in ERA if he weren’t five innings short of qualifying. That’s a solid All-Star case.
