It was an eventful day for former Auburn star Casey Mize.
Making his season debut for the Detroit Tigers after being named to the starting rotation for the first time out of spring training in his career, Mize opened up the first frame by fanning three straight Minnesota Twins.

Mize finished the day by allowing one run and fanning four through four innings.
