Casey Mize was anything but mighty against the KC onslaught, allowing all six runs in 4 2⁄3 innings in his first rough outing after two sparkling performances to start 2021.

Bukauskas, Ryan Hendrix and Garrett Whitlock — were all handed the ball on Friday night for their respective clubs and delivered scoreless outings. Bukauskas entered the D-backs’ 5-4

Detroit — It’s something Brad Ausmus said often during his managerial tenure with the Tigers. And it’s as true now as it was then. When you aren’t hitting, when you aren’t putting runners on base, there’s no energy, no verve — it looks like your compete level is low. AJ Hinch didn’t know much about that during
