Well the Tigers showed us a few things in handling Houston and Cleveland back-to-back, but tonight the Chicago White showed them a little more in terms of how they are from becoming a threat in the division. The Tigers held their own until a bullpen malfunction in the top of the ninth turned this one into a laugher as the Sox won 8-2.
Casey Mize was only scheduled to pitch three innings tonight, as the club looks to manages his innings through the middle part of the season in hopes of avoiding the need to shut him down in August or September. This was going to make for a tough night against Lance Lynn to begin with, and things didn’t start off too well.

A crazy first inning, which included the ejection of Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez, manager Don Mattingly and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr., helped the host Atlanta Braves escape with a 1-0 victory Friday night.
Lopez hit Braves leadoff man Ronald Acuna Jr. with the first pitchof the game, which prompted a meeting from the umpires and an eventual ejection of Lopez.
Acuna ended up scoring later in the inning on a sacrifice fly from Ozzie Albies, which was enough to edge the Marlins and saddle Lopez with a loss; the first time a pitcher has lost a game throwing just one pitch since Baltimore s Art Schallock in 1955.
