Casey Mize, the right-handed pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, left his start against the Atlanta Braves in the third inning on Tuesday night due to right groin tightness. After covering first base on a ground ball, Mize met with trainers on the field before exiting the game, which he left trailing 1-0. He had thrown 34 pitches and was replaced by Brant Hurter. In his limited outing, Mize allowed three hits, two runs, and one walk, while striking out three batters over 2 1/3 innings. This performance raised his earned run average (ERA) to 2.90. Mize had previously shown strong form this season, giving up one run or fewer in four of his five starts. Last season, he was an All-Star, finishing with a record of 14-6 and an ERA of 3.86.
