Episode Details

The Padres pulled off a clutch win against the Dodgers by keeping star closer Mason Miller — aka “The Reaper” — on the bench, letting the offense score four runs to avoid needing his late-inning magic. With Miller rested, the Padres strategically preserved his arm for critical games ahead, while Dodgers manager Dave Roberts openly admitted he wanted to see Miller pitch. Miller himself praised the insurance runs, saying they give pitchers breathing room when the offense is shaky. The next day, the Dodgers roared back with nine runs — their biggest total in San Diego since 1977 — but the Padres’ bullpen kept them in it. Meanwhile, Dodgers fans flooding Petco Park turned the venue into a hostile home away from home, making it tough for the Padres to maintain their edge — even as ticket sales from opposing fans keep pouring in.
