The Detroit Tigers evened up their weekend series against the Texas Rangers on Saturday afternoon with a 3-0 victory at Globe Life Field. Riley Greene provided the fireworks with a two-run homer while Jack Flaherty and the bullpen blanked the opposition\u2019s bats for a full nine innings.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, right-hander Casey Mize will climb the hill for the Olde English D in search of its second-straight series win over a division-leading team. The 29-year-0ld threw his best game so far this season last time out against the New York Yankees, whom he shut out over seven frames of one-hit ball while striking out 10 against zero walks for his third win of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n
Taking the mound for the Rangers is fellow righty Kumar Rocker, who appears to be settling into his third year of big league action. The 26-year-old hurler put up mixed results last month, but finished it off with his fifth quality start of the season, throwing six innings of shutout ball on four hits and a walk while striking out five on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays, taking a no-decision in a 3-2 team win.<\/p>\n
