Mason Miller News: Implodes in first blown save

Miller (0-1) was charged with the loss and a blown save Saturday against the Marlins after surrendering five runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.

The right-hander entered for the bottom of the ninth to protect a 6-4 advantage and struck out two of the first three batters he faced, but a double, two walks and a walk-off grand slam by Kyle Stowers gave Miami the win. It's the first blown save of the season for Miller, who entered the day with just two runs allowed through 12 appearances. He's now 10-for-11 in save chances, with the rough performance ballooning his ERA to 4.97. A 0.95 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB are better indicators of his standing as arguably the best closer in baseball.
