Game notes: The Tigers dropped two of three to the Pittsburgh Pirates, falling to 7-12 and mere percentage points ahead of the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees — two playoff teams last season — for the worst record in the American League. Former No. 1 draft pick and top prospect Casey Mize faces Mike Minor… Minor toes the rubber for a surprising Royals team that’s first in the AL Central even after losing two games in a three-game set vs. the Tampa Bay Rays. 

Tigers lineup: TBA.
