The Detroit Tigers lost 4-3 to the Chicago White Sox last night. Rookie starter Casey Mize opened the game with five no-hit innings.

The Sox came back with four in the bottom of the frame, chasing Mize, who was charged with two of the runs. José Cisnero gave up the other two, and took the loss.

The Capital Athletic Conference has canceled all league contests through the end of 2020. The league, which includes Finlandia University, had already called off its fall activities. League officials say they’ll review the COVID-19 situation later this year, and decide whether league competition, including the post-season basketball tournament, can resume. The decision does not immediately affect Finlandia’s basketball program, which does not routinely play other league members during the regular season, but is eligible to qualify for the post-season tournaments. The CAC says it will support efforts by member schools to play games against regional opponents, in accordance with local COVID-19 guidelines.
