Mason Miller recorded a scoreless save to secure a 2-1 victory for the San Diego Padres over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon at Angel Stadium. The performance stretched his scoreless innings streak to 32 2/3, one shy of the franchise record. Fernando Tatis Jr. summed it up: “Game over.”
The Padres improved to 10 wins in their last 11 games and 13 in 15, pulling within half a game of the Dodgers in the National League West standings. Xander Bogaerts and Bryce Johnson delivered RBI singles, while Michael King pitched five scoreless innings. Rookie Bradgley Rodriguez provided five key outs from the bullpen in relief, as setup men Adrian Morejon and Jason Adam were unavailable and Jeremiah Estrada recovers from right elbow tendinitis on the injured list. That set the stage for Miller in the ninth.
