🔥 Rewritten Article:
Denver, CO - Casey Mize delivered a stellar performance, Spencer Torkelson drove in three runs, and the Detroit Tigers cruised past the stumbling Colorado Rockies 10-2 in the first game of a thrilling doubleheader.
Andy Ibáñez picked up a pair of hits and contributed two RBIs in the AL Central-leading Tigers' sixth win in seven games. Trey Sweeney posted two hits and scored twice.
Mize (6-1) had a fabulous outing, racking up eight strikeouts in his fourth consecutive victory. He surrendered just one run and three hits, sharing the lead for the most wins in the majors with the Yankees' Max Fried.
Colorado's Kyle Freeland (0-5) endured a rough night, giving up nine runs - five earned - and 11 hits in three innings. The last-place Rockies accumulated three errors and only four hits.
Detroit exploded for five runs in the second inning. Gleyber Torres notched an RBI single, while Torkelson extended the lead to 7-0 with a two-run double. Sweeney and Justyn-Henry Malloy both earned RBIs with singles in the third.
In the Rockies' fifth consecutive loss, Alan Trejo and Hunter Goodman notched sacrifice flies.
The pivotal moment came when Mize methodically retired 13 batters in a row after Brenton Doyle singled leading off the first inning.
A key stat to consider: Freeland has allowed 31 runs—25 earned—in his last six appearances, covering 26 2/3 innings.
Up next, Tanner Gordon (22 strikeouts, 6 walks, 28 innings, 4.82 ERA with Triple-A Albuquerque this season) takes the mound for Colorado. Detroit is yet to announce their starting pitcher for the second game.
