Overview
- Miller closed a clean ninth in Mexico City to finish a 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks, securing his 10th save with a 102.7 mph fastball for the final out.
- The 34 2/3 scoreless innings surpass Cla Meredith’s 2006 Padres mark, which Miller had tied earlier in the week during a 10-8 win at Coors Field.
- He has not allowed a run this season, giving up three hits and two walks with 27 strikeouts across scoreless relief appearances.
- His arsenal pairs a 102–104 mph fastball with a slider he now throws more than half the time, generating a whiff rate above 75 percent this year.
- His start has sparked Cy Young chatter for a reliever, though history shows voters favor starters who log far more innings, with Eric Gagné the last reliever to win in 2003.
