EDGE Analysis

Mize was sharp through four innings, with a J.D. Martinez solo shot his only blemish, but he struggled in the fifth. The 24-year-old allowed two more home runs in the frame, including a two-run shot by Enrique Hernandez. Mize has mostly done better at limiting home runs this season, as his HR/9 is down from 2.2 in 2020 to 1.5 so far in 2021, so perhaps this was just a minor hiccup against a tough lineup. Mize lines up to face a softer Baltimore lineup in his next scheduled start Tuesday. He pitched seven innings against the Orioles on Thursday without allowing an earned run.
