Notches 30th save
Miller earned a save against the Brewers on Monday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.
Analysis
Miller was handed the ball in the top of the ninth inning with San Diego nursing a one-run lead. He retired the first two batters he faced before issuing a walk to William Contreras. Miller got out of the frame when pinch runner Brandon Lockridge was thrown out trying to steal second base. The All-Star closer posted his 30th save of the campaign, tied for second most in the majors behind Bryan Baker (34). It's the first time in Miller's career that he's reached the 30-save mark.

Survives for save Saturday
Miller earned a save against Houston on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter over one inning.
Analysis
Miller had a two-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth inning, and he quickly brought the tying run to the plate when he hit the first batter of the frame (Christian Walker). The All-Star closer moved Walker to second with a wild pitch and surrendered a two-out RBI single to Yandy Diaz but retired LaMonte Wade on a groundout to finish off the save. The earned run Miller gave up ended a 12-outing scoreless stretch and is just his fifth allowed run of the campaign through 49.1 frames, resulting in a sterling 0.91 ERA. He's converted 29 of 30 save opportunities and has registered a dominant 91:16 K:BB.
