Mize came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies, giving up four runs on six hits over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.
The Tigers staked Mize to a 6-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but the right-hander couldn't get out of the fifth to qualify for the win, exiting after 66 pitches (47 strikes). Mize's performance since returning from a two-month absence due to a hamstring injury has been a mixed bag -- over three starts and 16 innings, he's posted a 5.63 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB while serving up four homers. He lines up to make his next trip to the mound on the road early next week in Kansas City.
