Overview
- Mason Miller’s new closer entrance, which debuted Saturday at Petco Park, capped the Padres’ 3-0 win over the Tigers and their first victory of 2026.
- Pitching the ninth, he struck out two, including Kevin McGonigle on three pitches, and his fastball touched 101 mph during the inning.
- Starter Randy Vasquez set the tone with 6.0 scoreless innings, eight strikeouts, and two hits allowed to earn the win.
- The entrance featured Korn’s “Blind,” lights pulsing across the stadium, and a scoreboard reaper image tied to Miller’s nickname.
- Miller stepped into the closer role after Suarez signed with Atlanta and said clubhouse attendants led the music choice because “the song’s not for me, it’s for everybody else.”
