Scouting report

:arrow_forward: Houck, Red Sox: He shut the Tigers down (one run, three hits) over seven innings at Fenway on May 31, but he’s coming off a rough one against the red-hot Diamondbacks (six runs, six innings). He’s only allowed 10 homers in 158.2 innings this season, but four of them have come in his last five starts.

:arrow_forward: Mize, Tigers: It’s been a much longer road back than he anticipated or wanted, but after four rehab outings, he will be back on a big-league mound for the first time since June 30, missing 60 days with a hamstring injury. He pitched into the fifth inning and threw more than 70 pitches in his final rehab start.

Such a big series.

We can really help our playoff chances here.

We need to take at least 2.

They are very good.

Duran is gonna be a pain in the ass the whole series.

I’m so accustomed to Meadows tracking everything down in CF I was a little surprised when he didn’t catch that first hit.

Nice job by Mize to minimize the damage

Remember when Houck was considered a favorite for the cy young?

That is pretty formidable. Tigers are gonna have to bring their A game today. By the way, thanks for always starting these threads @frm710.

He’s looked good so far tonight. I think we’ll break it up a little bit in that fourth inning. Top of the lineup seeing him again. Fingers crossed.
