The Detroit Tigers are back at Comerica Park on Wednesday night, looking to shake off an ugly 12-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in the series opener.
Detroit had been strong at home to start the season, winning eight of its first nine games at Comerica, but Tuesday quickly got away from them. Keider Montero was not terrible, though sloppy defense and shaky bullpen work helped Milwaukee turn the game into a rout. The lone bright spot on the mound? Jake Rogers, who somehow ended up being the only Tigers pitcher not to allow a run.
That one is over now. The Tigers will try to turn the page with Casey Mize on the mound.
Pitching matchup: Casey Mize vs. Chad Patrick
Casey Mize
Detroit sends right-hander Casey Mize to the hill for Game 25 of the season. Mize enters the night with a 1-1 record and a 2.78 ERA through four starts. He has pitched 22.2 innings, struck out 26.6% of the batters he has faced, and posted a solid 3.13 FIP with 0.6 fWAR.
Mize has given the Tigers a steady presence early in the season, and his ability to miss bats has been an encouraging sign. He has not faced Milwaukee since 2024, when he took the loss in a 5-4 game despite a respectable outing.
Milwaukee will counter with right-hander Chad Patrick, who has quietly put together a strong start to the year. Patrick is 1-0 with a 0.95 ERA in four appearances spanning 19 innings. His underlying numbers suggest he may not be quite as dominant as that ERA looks, as he owns a 3.97 FIP, but he has still been effective in limiting damage.
