The Pirates leapt ahead on a third inning RBI single hit off of a fastball that Mize left up in the zone, giving Pittsburgh an early 3-2 lead at Comerica Park.
The day included a flurry of updates from Tigers reporter Evan Petzold, who shared eight separate mini reports on several well known Tigers either working towards a return or having work done on them with a return in mind in the case of starting pitcher Jackson Jobe.
One player given an update was starting pitcher Reese Olson, who has pitched in nine games with Detroit so far this season.

"RHP (right ring finger inflammation) completed a bullpen session yesterday," Petzold reported in a post viewed over 17,000 times.
Olson's return, along with the potential return of key relief pitcher Alex Lange, could be clutch for the Tigers as they seek to maintain Major League Baseball's best record heading toward the second half of the 2025 season.

Olson has started and played in nine games total this season for manager AJ Hinch's team with an ERA of 2.96 in 48 innings pitched.
He's given up 38 hits and struck out 51 batters this season, strong numbers for a player Detroit will likely count on to fill in for the injured Jobe for the rest of this season.
