Padres pitchers step up after star closer Mason Miller goes on paternity list before Game 3 of NLDS

The San Diego Padres secured a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLDS despite being without their primary closer Mason Miller, who was placed on the paternity list shortly before first pitch. Setup man Adrian Morejon was also sidelined due to shoulder discomfort, forcing the bullpen to rely on a collective effort to preserve the win.

Michael King provided the final two innings of relief to earn the save, capped by a game-ending double play turned by Xander Bogaerts. Manager Craig Stammen and pitching coach Ruben Niebla expressed confidence that both Miller and Morejon could return for the next contest.
