Casey Mize controlled the game from the first pitch, and Detroit's offense provided just enough support in a 4-0 shutout victory over Los Angeles at Comerica Park.
Mize struck out six batters over four innings, allowing just two hits and one walk while carrying a 2.27 ERA. The right-hander set the tone early, retiring the side in order twice and never allowing the Angels to mount a serious threat. Drew Anderson earned the win with three perfect innings of relief, striking out three without allowing a baserunner.
Detroit struck early when Dingler singled to center in the first inning, bringing Keith home for the game's opening run. Torkelson extended the lead in the second with a solo homer to left field, his eighth of the season. McGonigle scored on Greene's fifth-inning single when right fielder Adell's throwing error allowed the run to cross. The Tigers added their final run in the seventh when McGonigle scored on a passed ball.
Jose Soriano took the loss for Los Angeles, allowing three runs over five innings despite striking out four. The Angels managed just two hits against Detroit's pitching staff and committed one error that proved costly in the fifth inning.
Detroit snapped a losing streak and improved to 21-34, while Los Angeles saw its four-game winning streak end as both teams remain tied at 21-34.
