28 May
Summary
- Casey Mize suffers another injury in his return to the mound.
- Tigers pitcher Drew Anderson has been a bright spot amid struggles.
- Spencer Torkelson had a strong offensive performance with a home run.
The Detroit Tigers achieved a 4-0 win against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, May 27, in the second game of their series at Comerica Park. This victory marked their third shutout of the 2026 season, but it came at a cost.
Right-hander Casey Mize exited the game in the fourth inning due to right groin tightness, his second injury related to the same issue since returning from the injured list. This pitching instability has been a recurring theme for the Tigers, who currently hold a 22-34 record and are in last place in the American League Central.
Relief pitcher Drew Anderson continued his impressive scoreless streak, throwing three shutout innings after Mize's departure. Anderson has been a standout performer for the Tigers, boasting 14 consecutive scoreless innings. Offensively, Spencer Torkelson fueled the Tigers' win with a solo home run, finishing the game 3-for-4 with two doubles and the homer. Other hitters like Colt Keith, Kevin McGonigle, and Dillon Dingler also contributed multiple hits to the team's efforts.
