Mason Miller did not take long to contribute to the enclosure of the stuck in the padres of San Diego.
The former closer to athletics, exchanged the Padres Thursday in a superb agreement of six players, launched an eighth round without goal on Friday evening during a 4-1 victory against the Cardinals of St. Louis on visit.
Miller could be back in action on Saturday evening when the three -game series continues in San Diego and the Padres are looking for their seventh consecutive victory.
Miller, who has compiled 20 stops for athletics this season, granted two single fasts before using his quick ball of 101 mi / h to obtain a withdrawal from Jordan Walker. This was followed from a double game ball, trying Robert Suarez for his 31st MLB stop.
With Miller, Suarez, Jason Adam, Adrian Morejon and Jeremiah Estrada available, Padres manager, Mike Shildt, has several tasty options to close the games.
“We will use them and deploy them as we did all year round, and we were quite wise with that, to put them in good places to succeed,” said Shildt.
The Enclai des Padres was particularly busy in the 21 departures of Randy Vasquez this year, although the right -hander – which should start on Saturday – has not presented badly. In fact, the team’s 14-7 record in its outings this year goes beyond the 14-8 mark in the departures of Nick Pivetta.
The previous release of Vasquez last Saturday in St. Louis was typical of his season. He made 4 2/3 sleeves, granting only one point on a blow with a step and two withdrawals in the stick during the 3-1 victory of San Diego. The lift enclosure has closed the cardinals in the last 4 1/3 years, Estrada taking victory.
Vasquez (3-4, 3.65 ERA) is 1-0 with an MPM of 2.53 in two career starts against Saint-Louis, which has only totaled one round in its last three games-all defeats.
While the paadres seek to continue their thrust in the playoffs, Michael McGreevy (2-2, 4.91 ERA) will try to take revenge after a brutal outing against them on Sunday. The 25-year-old right-hander was overthrown during a 9-2 defeat, allowing seven points on nine stories in 4 2/3 rounds while walking and removing two.
McGreevy also hopes a better defense than the cardinals played on Friday evening. Two errors on a Jose Iglesias Grounder helped San Diego to score four points in the fifth round.
The launching errors by the third basic player Nolan Gorman and the first goal player Willson Contreras led to three points not won in the Channel. Gorman was starting in third row because Nolan Arenado struck the list of injured on Friday due to a tense right shoulder.
It is not known how long Arenado will miss, although he suffers from the worst offensive season of his career. Before the injury, he hit only 0.235 with 10 circuits and 43 points produced. His last circuit came on June 21.
John Mozeliak, the president of the Cardinals baseball operations, told MLB.com that the team would favor playing time for Gorman and the recent call Thomas Saggese in the last two months of the season.
“We are going to try to find bats for Nolan Gorman the best we can,” said Mozeliak. “These things tend to train over time.”
Gorman, who missed time with back problems this year, went 1 for 3 Friday evening.
