Mize Struggles in Padres Debut, Surrendering Career-High Runs

Making his first appearance for the San Diego Padres following a trade deadline move, pitcher Casey Mize experienced a difficult outing. He surrendered eight earned runs, a personal worst for any game in his career, surpassing any previous outings with the Detroit Tigers.

The right-hander's performance marked a stark contrast to his past outings, as the eight runs allowed in this single game exceeded his highest run total in any previous start. The Padres ultimately fell in the game where Mize made his debut.

Following the game, Mize expressed his disappointment, stating he was "frustrated and embarrassed" by his performance. The outing represents a significant setback for the pitcher as he aims to establish himself with his new club.
