Casey Mize’s debut for the Padres turned into a nightmare as he surrendered eight earned runs in just over three innings, marking his worst performance ever — and it came against the Diamondbacks, who exploded for six runs in the fourth. Frustrated and embarrassed, Mize admitted he left his team in a bad spot. Meanwhile, rookie Mitch Bratt dazzled with seven shutout innings, nine strikeouts, and under 100 pitches. Despite the loss, the Padres got flashes of hope: Gage Workman crushed a bases-clearing double in his first at-bat, and Fernando Tatis Jr. launched a huge homer. Now trailing in the Wild Card race, the team must regroup fast.
