Key Points:
- Milwaukee leads the National League Division Series against San Diego Padres 2-0, with the series shifting to San Diego for Game 3.
- Padres closer Josh Hader Miller's blown save in Game 2 sparked speculation he may have tipped his pitches, but Miller denies this, attributing his struggles to lack of command rather than giving away pitches.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy emphasized that pitch tipping is a common part of the game, involving many subtle cues, and his team is vigilant about not revealing information.
- Padres manager Craig Stammen acknowledged Miller's erratic ninth inning could be due to extended usage beyond his usual one-inning role and suggested adjustments may be needed for future appearances.
- Game 3 at Petco Park is critical for the Padres, who hope Miller can regain his form and help keep their postseason hopes alive.
