Detroit Tigers Rally in Casey Mize's Return, but Fall to Boston Red Sox, 7-5 (10)
Red Sox Win on Walk-Off Grand Slam in Extras
The Detroit Tigers came back from a 4-0 deficit Tuesday night to take a 5-4 lead in the ninth inning, but the Boston Red Sox would ultimately win 7-5 in extras on a grand slam by Bobby Dalbec.
Mize Shows Rust in First Start of Season
Casey Mize, making his first start of the 2023 season, struggled with command early on, walking three batters in the first two innings.
The Red Sox took advantage, scoring three runs off Mize in the second inning, helped by two walks and a single.
Tigers' Offense Comes Alive
The Tigers' offense, which has been inconsistent all season, finally came alive in the middle innings.
Harold Castro hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, and Spencer Torkelson drove in two more with a double in the fifth.
The Tigers took the lead in the seventh inning when Jonathan Schoop singled in two runs off Red Sox reliever John Schreiber.
Red Sox Tie it Up in Ninth
The Red Sox tied the game in the ninth inning off Tigers closer Gregory Soto.
Soto walked two batters and hit another, loading the bases for Alex Verdugo, who singled in two runs to tie the game.
Dalbec Wins it in Extras
In the tenth inning, the Red Sox loaded the bases again off reliever Joe Jimenez.
Dalbec then stepped to the plate and hit a grand slam to give the Red Sox the victory.
