The White Sox had a chance to break the game open, but Hinch stuck with his talented youngster, just as he stuck with him following an up-and-down Spring Training. Mize got through it, retiring the middle of Chicago’s lineup.

The day loss to the Chicago White Sox was followed by an 11-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox in the night cap for Detroit but that wasn’t all they lost in the night cap as they also lost their starting pitcher Matthew Boyd.

When?

In the second inning!

Why?

Because he had tendinitis in his left knee.
