The Detroit Tigers wrapped up a 10-game homestand on Sunday with a 7-5 loss to the Houston Astros. After winning four in a row, the Tigers dropped five of the next six games.
The series started promising with an 8-0 win on Friday. Saturday’s game saw Will Vest blow a two-run lead and ultimately hand Detroit a loss. Jack Flaherty was activated off the injured list on Sunday and looked terrific. He threw five scoreless innings with nine strikeouts, but once again, the bullpen couldn’t do its job as Kyle Finnegan and Kenley Jansen gave up four runs.

Mize will make his second consecutive start against New York. He threw 5.2 innings and allowed eight hits, four earned runs, one walk, and struck out six. Mize did a nice job of limiting damage with guys on base, but the Yankees broke through in the sixth inning.
He allowed a base hit to Paul Goldschmidt before Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a two-run homer. Mize’s key to success has been the low walk percentage. He’s only allowed three walks over his last five starts.
Weathers also made his previous start versus Detroit. He pitched six innings and surrendered two runs on six hits with six strikeouts. Weathers has been hit-or-miss in June. The lefty allowed 11 earned runs in the first two starts and just two earned runs since. Weathers has a five-pitch mix that features a four-seamer, changeup, sweeper, sinker, and a slider.
