- Craig Sammen dismissed the notion that Mason Miller's ninth-inning struggles in Sunday's loss were caused by pitch-tipping.
- Sammen indicated he may limit Miller to one inning for the rest of the postseason rather than deploying him for multi-inning stints.
Why it matters: By ruling out pitch-tipping but still pulling back on Miller's workload, the Padres are narrowing a key bullpen weapon's role without confirming a public theory — a tension that leaves Miller's late-inning usage in the postseason more constrained than expected.
