Suddenly, Hinch had to get his bullpen ready. Mize struck out Matt Wallner, then Ty France singled up the middle knocking in a run and Mize was done, as the Twins held a 4-1 lead. He gave up four earned runs, allowed seven hits, although two of them were homers. He had three strikeouts with no walks.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize will try to win his third straight game to open the season while leading his team to a sweep on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. The Tigers (9-5) and Twins (4-11) wrap up their three-game series at 2:10 p.m. Eastern time at Target Field.
