Mason Miller allows three runs in final tune-up

Mason Miller

SD Relief Pitcher #22

Player Stats

Mason Miller allowed three runs in an inning of relief against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

It was a final tune-up for Miller ahead of the Padres’ Wild Card Series against the Cubs beginning Tuesday. He loaded the bases with no outs, and he saw all three runs scored while putting the tying run at the plate before finally getting out of the frame. It’s an ugly outing for the 28-year-old, but Miller’s regular season was still nothing short of dominant with 38 saves and an ERA of 1.67. Obviously, he’ll be counted on heavily for the Padres in the postseason.

Mason Miller earned his 38th save despite allowing a run in the ninth Thursday against the Dodgers.

Miller could have had a one-two-three inning, but Tommy Edman reached on a strikeout/wild pitch to keep the game going before Shohei Ohtani doubled him in. Miller then got Mookie Betts to ground out. The Padres clinched a postseason berth tonight, so Miller should get Friday off after working back-to-back days. Yuki Matsui or David Morgan could get a chance to closer.

Mason Miller took his third blown save after giving up a game-tying homer to Griffin Conine in the ninth inning Saturday.

Miller entered with a one-run lead in the eighth and stranded Esteury Ruiz at third by striking out Heriberto Hernández and Kyle Stowers. The Marlins, though, got to him in the ninth, with Conine delivering a very impressive 427-foot homer off a 102.1-mph fastball as a pinch-hitter. It’s the third homer allowed by Miller this year. All three of those and all three blown saves have come since the beginning of August.

Mason Miller struck out two in a scoreless ninth for his 37th save Monday against the Rockies.

The Padres went right back to their late-game trio of Bradgley Rodriguez, Adrian Morejon and Miller tonight after avoiding all three on Sunday. They might be down again on Tuesday, now that they’ve all worked three times in four days. Yuki Matsui will be available to close, though.

Mason Miller recorded his 35th save with a scoreless ninth Friday against the Giants.

Mason Miller fired a scoreless ninth inning against the Nationals on Monday to record his 34th save of the season.

Miller came on to preserve a one-run lead in the final frame and managed to work around a one-out single from Dylan Crews by striking out CJ Abrams before getting Brady House to ground out to end it. He’s converted 34 of 36 save opportunities and has 113 strikeouts across 61 1/3 innings. He’s the best closer in the fantasy landscape and it might be a while before anyone else even enters the conversation.

Mason Miller worked two innings and allowed an unearned run while picking up a win versus the Yankees on Friday.

It looks like Miller was going to pick up the loss after he gave up an RBI single to Spencer Jones in the top of the 10th. That run was unearned because it was the inherited extra runner, and he struck out four while lowering his ERA to 1.21 and picking up his fifth win of the season.

Mason Miller was charged with his second blown save of the year in Sunday’s 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Rays, allowing a two-run homer off the bat of Jonny DeLuca in the ninth.

The fly ball traveled into the shallow left-field corner and was in Samad Taylor’s glove before going over the wall, tying the game at three. San Diego then took a one-run lead in the 11th before Tampa Bay scored two in the bottom half to walk it off. Miller struck out two in his lone inning without walking anyone. He has a career-high 32 saves already this year, along with one of the 10 highest K-BB rates among qualified relievers since 2010.

Mason Miller fired a scoreless ninth to pick up a save against the Twins on Saturday.

Miller didn’t allow a hit and struck out a hitter while not issuing a walk. He’s now given up only one run in August, after giving up just one run in July after giving up, well, you get it. Miller has been nothing short of dominant in his first full season as the closer of the Padres, and is now up to 32 saves and down to a 0.83 ERA.

Gabriel Moreno (hamstring) was scratched from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup on Sunday due to lingering hamstring discomfort.

The 26-year-old backstop may still be available to pinch hit. Jordan Lawlar will start in his place, with Tim Tawa shifting to first base and Pavin Smith functioning as the Diamondbacks’ designated hitter in a must-win game against the Padres on Sunday afternoon.

While Gausman was encouraged by how he felt, he won’t know for sure if he’ll be available for the Wild Card Series until seeing how his body responds on Monday. If he’s declared ready to go, he would get the ball in either Game 1 or 2 for the Cubs.

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Cam Schlittler will start Game 1 of the Wild Card Series against the Red Sox.

That means that Max Fried will pitch for the Yankees in Game 2 while Gerrit Cole would be waiting in the wings for Game 3 if necessary. Schlittler is certainly deserving of the honor as he posted a brilliant 1.95 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 239 strikeouts over 193 2/3 innings over 33 starts during the regular season and is the favorite to take home Cy Young award honors in the American League.
