Casey Mize wasn't happy with the way his 2022 began.
He approaches all teams the same way, but naturally, the Detroit Tigers' right-hander feels like he has some extra juice when he faces winning teams, or in this case, the Chicago White Sox for his first start.
After his start, Mize made his disappointment known.
"Execution, gotta get better," Mize said. "I think you're going to hear me say that a ton."
The reality is, Mize could have pitched a lot worse. The 24-year-old allowed four runs on seven hits with two strikeouts, pulled after allowing a two-run home run without recording an out in the sixth inning.
