Casey Mize's Padres debut derailed by career-worst start in Arizona

Casey Mize's San Diego Padres debut at Chase Field ended in a career-worst 3.1 innings, allowing 8 earned runs on 9 hits with 3 walks and 1 strikeout in a 10-4 loss to the Diamondbacks after being traded from Detroit. He owned the miscue, saying he couldn’t execute, while Padres manager Craig Stammen attributed some rust and travel disruption but expressed confidence he’ll rebound once back in a routine. Mize and fellow trade acquisition Robbie Ray are projected to make at least 16 starts as San Diego remains in the wild-card hunt with 47 games left.
