Tigers' Casey Mize: Fails to record strikeout Friday
Rotowire
Mize did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals, allowing three runs on nine hits and one walk without recording a strikeout over 5.2 innings.
Mize was undone by a three-run third inning and was fortunate overall given he yielded 14 hard-hit balls while managing just three whiffs on 87 pitches. It was a letdown after the 28-year-old notched a season-high 10 punchouts Saturday, and he now sports a 5.34 ERA across six outings since the All-Star break. For the season, he carries a 3.68 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 103:30 K:BB over 117.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Athletics next week.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Fans 10 in win
Rotowire
Mize (12-4) earned the victory over Minnesota on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over 6.1 innings.
Three of the four runs and half of the four hits Mize allowed came in the fifth inning, prior to which he retired 11 straight batters. That one tough frame wasn't bad enough to ruin a very impressive outing by the right-hander, however, as he tied a career high with 10 punchouts. Mize also registered his third straight victory, and with 12 wins on the campaign he's tied for fourth in the majors. Though he's had a few clunkers on the campaign, Mize's 3.63 ERA is on track for a career-best mark. He's lined up to face the Royals at home in his next outing.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Strikes out five in win
Rotowire
Mize (11-4) earned the win against the Angels on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Mize started strong with four scoreless innings before surrendering a two-run homer in the fifth. The 28-year-old wasn't particularly sharp, throwing just 55 of 91 pitches for strikes and recording eight whiffs. Still, he's now delivered back-to-back solid outings to open August after struggling with a 6.32 ERA over four July starts. He'll carry a 3.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 93:28 K:BB across 105.1 innings into a road matchup with the Twins next weekend.
Tigers' Casey Mize: Survives three long balls for win
Rotowire
Mize (10-4) earned the win Monday against the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.
The Detroit right-hander worked around three solo homers in this 67-pitch performance to reach double-digit wins for the first time in his five-year career. Mize also managed to notch his first quality start of the second half, marking his seventh total for the season. Through 100.1 total innings, the 28-year-old has pitched to a 3.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 88:26 K:BB while conceding 15 home runs. Mize currently lines up to make his next start at home against the Angels this weekend.
Mize escaped with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over just 1.2 innings. He struck out two.
The right-hander couldn't stick around long enough to benefit from the Tigers' offensive fireworks, throwing just 33 of 59 pitches for strikes before getting the hook in his shortest outing of the season. Mize has looked gassed over his last three starts, surrendering 13 runs (11 earned) in only 8.2 innings to send his ERA shooting up from 2.63 to 3.43, and his recent struggles may put pressure on the Detroit front office to further bolster the rotation at the trade deadline after acquiring Chris Paddack from Minnesota. Mize will try to find his prior form in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against those same Twins.
Mize is slated to make his next start Tuesday's against the Diamondbacks in Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Mize was originally expected to start Monday's series opener, but he'll be pushed back a day in the schedule as a precaution after minor knee soreness resulted in his between-starts throwing program being delayed a bit. The right-hander's knee isn't expected to be a concern heading into his start Tuesday, when he'll look to get back on track after allowing 10 runs over seven innings in his last two outings.
Mize (9-4) took the loss Tuesday as the Tigers were downed 8-5 by the Pirates, coughing up five runs (four earned) on 10 hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander tossed 62 of his 86 pitches for strikes and managed to keep the ball in the yard, but Mize still allowed far too much loud contact as six of the 10 hits off him wound up turning into doubles. He's been tagged for 11 runs (10 earned) over his last two starts, but Mize still sports a 3.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 82:23 K:BB through 92.2 inning on the year. He'll look to turn things around in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.
Mize (9-3) took the loss after throwing three innings, allowing six runs and one walk while striking out four, during Saturday's 15-7 loss to the Mariners.
In his last start before the All-Star break, Mize had a rare rough outing, lasting a season-low three innings and giving up a season-high six runs. It snaps a streak of nine straight starts allowing three runs or fewer for the right-hander. The 28-year-old will still enter the All-Star break with great numbers, posting a 3.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 88.2 innings.
Mize (9-2) struck out four and allowed four hits and two walks over seven shutout innings to earn the win Saturday against the Guardians.
It's the third seven-inning outing of the season for Mize, though Saturday's performance was his first scoreless appearance since his season debut April 1 in Seattle. After posting a 4.49 ERA in 22 regular-season outings last year, the right-hander has turned into a key rotation piece for Detroit in 2025 with a 2.63 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 73:21 K:BB across 85.2 innings.
