Casey Mize pitched six innings without allowing any runs, marking his first major league victory since 2021. Buddy Kennedy hit a homer and brought in three runs as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-1 on Sunday.

Spencer Torkelson contributed with two hits, scored twice, and drove in two runs. Riley Greene crossed home plate three times for the Tigers, who now hold an 8-3 record when playing away games.

Mize (1-0) surrendered five hits, walked three batters, and struck out four to secure his first win since August 24, 2021, against St. Louis.

Despite not having his best stuff, Mize emphasized the importance of competitiveness, focusing on getting out with what he had.

The Twins have been struggling, losing six out of their last seven games and boasting a batting average of .195, the second-lowest in the league.

Minnesota rookie Austin Martin hit his first career home run, spoiling the shutout in the ninth inning with a blast off Alex Faedo.

Twins’ pitcher Louie Varland (0-4) faced control issues from the beginning, walking the first two batters he faced. After surrendering a single and another walk, the Tigers capitalized, scoring two runs thanks to Kerry Carpenter’s hit and Kennedy’s sacrifice fly, establishing a 2-0 lead.
