Mason Miller’s uncharacteristic 9th-inning struggles put Padres on the verge of playoff elimination
Mason Miller struggled with control, leading to a San Diego Padres loss against Milwaukee. On Sunday, he loaded the bases in the ninth inning with three walks, and Jackson Chourio's two-run, walk-off single gave the Brewers a 4-3 win. The Padres face a 2-0 deficit in the NL Division Series heading into Game 3 on Tuesday. Miller attempted his first six-out save since 2024 but faltered after a perfect eighth inning. Miller had an 0.79 ERA at the end of July before posting a 3.33 ERA from Aug. 1 through the end of the regular season.
