The Detroit Tigers snapped a three-game losing streak on Friday night with a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the first game of the home series this weekend. A strong pitching performance punctuated by a walk-off home run that finally gave the club a win in a close game.

On Saturday, AJ Hinch gets right-hander Casey Mize back from the injured list to make his first start since April 28. On that day he only lasted 2 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three before injuring his groin fielding a bunt toward first base.

The last time Mize faced the Blue Birds was back in 2024 on May 26, when he allowed three runs on eight hits (one home run) and two walks while striking out nobody over 4 1/3 frames in what resulted in a 14-11 team win.

Fluharty has appeared in relief for 21 of his 22 outings this season, with the only start of his major league career coming in an opener role against the Chicago White Sox on April 4. He threw just one inning, allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in a team loss.

Take a look at how the pitchers line up below.
