#Bluejays face a tough challenge against the #Tigers with multiple opportunities to score but struggling to capitalize. Cavan Biggio hits a two-run homer, while Vlad Guerrero Jr. contributes with hits. Casey Mize pitches for the Tigers, eventually replaced by Joey Wentz after a leadoff double by Guerrero Jr. and a groundout by Bo Bichette. Mize's performance includes 4.1 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 0 K, and 1 HR. The Blue Jays work Mize hard, accumulating 68 pitches through three innings but fail to score. Despite their efforts, the Blue Jays fall short, trailing 5-2 to the Tigers.
It's a four-hit day for Vladdy - his single up the middle scores Biggio and brings up Bichette as the tying run with 2out in top6. #Bluejays
No win today for Mize, who exits for Joey Wentz after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leadoff double and Bo Bichette groundout. Mize: 4.1 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 HR 86 pitches, 53 strikes (7 swinging strikes) https://t.co/TGr76cgrnM

Last time Casey Mize got a win at Comerica Park was July 29, 2021. He beat an O's lineup that included DJ Stewart, Domingo Leyba and Maikel Franco. He's 3 outs away from qualifying but at 80 pitches with a 5-2 lead after Cavan Biggio HR.

Cavan Biggio gets a couple back with a blast into the seats in right field, scoring an Ernie Clement double. Biggio's second homer of the season. Vladdie puts the HR Jacket on him as he gets to the dugout. #Bluejays down 5-2 to bot4, Trevor Richards takes over for Kikuchi.
Cavan Biggio, came in hitting .196 with one homer, just launched a Mize four-seamer into the right-field seats, two-run shot. 5-2.
Blue Jays have worked Casey Mize for 68 pitches thru three innings but have no runs to show for it. Their hardest-hit ball off Mize is a 106 mph line drive from Daniel Vogelbach -- right to Andy Ibáñez for a double play to help Mize escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam.
#Bluejays start top3 with three straight singles to load the bases for Vogelbach, who may well be on his last strike here today.
Tigers are hitting Yusei Kikuchi hard early. Blue Jays are down 2-0 here in Detroit. Can their lineup, which ranks 28th among MLB teams in runs scored, come back? Otherwise they're looking at a 1-3 series vs. Tigers.
Good news for Casey Mize is that he stranded bases loaded in second inning. Bad news is that he needed 36 pitches to do so. Daniel Vogelbach escaped an 0-2 count with a leadoff walk and Mize labored (or for Toronto fans, laboured) from there.
#Bluejays have the bases loaded and 2out here in top2, with Davis Schneider at the plate and Casey Mize already having thrown 32 pitches this inning.
Vladdy leads off top8 with a single the other way, putting the tying run on base. Bichette bounces into a double play on the next pitch. #Bluejays down 2-1 top8.
#Bluejays have a golden chance with the top of the lineup up after a 1out triple by Kevin Kiermaier into the RF corner in top3, but Davis Schneider strikes out and Justin Turner grounds to third. Still 2-0 #Tigers.
