The Milwaukee Brewers beat the San Diego Padres 4-3 in Game 2 of their National League Division Series on Sunday in Milwaukee, taking a 2-0 lead in the series. According to the Associated Press, Padres closer Mason Miller walked the first three batters of the ninth inning to load the bases, and Jackson Chourio followed with a two-out, two-run walk-off single. The AP said Miller was trying to complete a six-out save. [ 3 , 6 ]
Milwaukee won Game 1 by a 3-2 score. The AP said Adrian Morejon gave up a tiebreaking home run to William Contreras in the seventh inning of that game. Fox News reported the opener ended controversially when Padres first baseman Ty France hit a towering fly ball that struck the American Family Field roof and fell into the glove of Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio; Chourio had earlier hit a two-run homer off Robbie Ray to tie the score. [ 1 , 3 ]
Miller, described by the AP as a two-time All-Star who emerged as the best closer in the major leagues, said the outing was out of character. “I didn’t do my job today, so instead of being here with a win and a series tie, we’re in a hole,” he said. First baseman Ty France said: “Two really good games that didn’t go our way. Just go back home and play each game like it’s our last.” [ 3 ]
Speculation that Miller was tipping his pitches followed the loss, particularly after Chourio took a 1-2 slider. The AP reported the Padres do not think Miller was tipping pitches. Miller said of the take, “That just seemed like a really confident take,” adding, “I don’t really know what to make of it. I feel like there was only one pitch that it would have had an impact. If you’re tipping your pitches and it’s a ball — I just don’t think it had anything to do with the walks.” Brewers catcher Gary Sanchez, who walked in the ninth, said: “I don’t know if he was tipping or not. Seriously, I don’t. And if he was, I wasn’t aware of it. I think even if he was and we were aware of it, hitting 104 is not easy by any means.” Newsweek reported that manager Pat Murphy also answered whether his team had anything on Miller, but did not include his response. [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]
San Diego returns home for Game 3 on Tuesday at Petco Park, needing to win both home games to force a fifth game back at American Family Field, Newsweek reported. The AP said San Diego’s failure to protect two-run leads in each of the first two games is a notable turn for a team that could shorten games much of the season because of its deep corps of relief pitchers.

Por qué importa
The Padres, who leaned on a deep bullpen for much of the season, must now win both games at home to keep the series alive. A disputed pitch-tipping subplot has been added to a series Milwaukee already leads 2-0.
