The Detroit Tigers have now won three straight games against the Royals, improving to 8-1 at home, indicating their strong start to the season and the potential for a competitive campaign in the AL Central.

Casey Mize's dominant start, allowing just one run over seven innings, highlighted his ability to control the game, marking his fifth career start of at least seven innings, crucial for the Tigers' victory.

Spencer Torkelson's three-run homer in the fifth inning was pivotal for the Tigers, marking his seventh home run of the season and bringing his RBI total to 21 in 21 games, showcasing his emerging star power.

Beau Brieske also joins Brebbia on the injured list, which adds further pressure on the Tigers' bullpen. His absence creates additional strain on the pitching staff.

Bailey Horn has been called up to replace Brebbia after struggling in Triple-A with a 6.48 ERA. His performance will be crucial in filling the void left by Brebbia's injury.
