Max Muncy sets Dodgers record by hitting his 14th career postseason homer. Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Max Muncy set a franchise record by hitting his 14th career postseason homer in the sixth inning of Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Muncy’s 412-foot drive over the center-field wall broke the Dodgers record he had shared with Justin Turner and Corey Seager. The solo shot off Freddy Peralta extended Los Angeles' lead to 3-1 in Muncy’s 70th postseason game with the Dodgers.

Mason Miller (P - SD)

10/14/25 3:09 PM -
[Last Word on Sports] - Padres Considering Moving All-Star Reliever to Rotation. The San Diego Padres were a juggernaut in 2025, thanks mostly to their lockdown bullpen, anchored by closer and setup man , who was from the Athletics. The Padres are now considering transitioning Miller to the starting rotation ahead of the 2026 season. General Manager A.J. Preller told "97.3, The Fan" on Tuesday that the Padres will have more communication with the players moving forward when asked about Mason Miller potentially moving into the starting rotation next year. Preller added that the team will be in touch in the coming weeks for that type of conversation.

Mandatory Credit: Denis Poroy-Imagn Images[/caption] Padres May Move Mason Miller to Starting Rotation AJ Preller was asked if Mason Miller has been given a directive to prepare to move to the starting rotation or if he'll remain in the bullpen in 2026 and if he expects Yu Darvish to be in the team's starting rotation next season: — 97.3 The Fan (@973TheFanSD) When Miller first came up in 2023 with the Athletics, he began as a starter, and the numbers were solid overall, posting a 3.78 ERA in 33 1/3 innings. The best part? Miller had a 26.7% K rate, which would play very well as a starter for years to come. Looking at his page, Miller has an arsenal that would play well as a starter, featuring a fastball, cutter, slider, and changeup, all with different breaking points that can fool hitters. Potential Problems With all the positives, there are two clear cautions to this move from the Padres’ perspective. The first concern centers on Miller’s health and workload. Given how hard he throws — routinely touching 102–103 mph — the added strain of pitching multiple innings per outing significantly increases the risk of arm fatigue or injury over a full season. This was precisely why the Athletics transitioned Miller to the bullpen in 2023 after his early starts, hoping to preserve his electric stuff by limiting exposure and pitch counts. The Padres must be cautious not to jeopardize his long-term durability by ramping up his innings too aggressively. The second issue relates to bullpen depth and late-game reliability. With reports indicating that Robert Suárez is likely to opt out of his contract and test free agency, San Diego could find itself without a proven closer if Miller shifts into a starting role. Losing both Suárez and Miller from the back end of the bullpen would leave a significant void, and the organization doesn’t currently have many internal candidates with closing experience or the elite velocity required to fill that role. The Padres may need to explore the free-agent or trade market to stabilize the ninth inning should they fully commit to Miller’s transition to the rotation.

Brewers turn potential grand slam by Dodgers slugger Max Muncy into wild double play in NLCS. Max Muncy came within inches of hitting a grand slam for the Los Angeles Dodgers to open the scoring in the National League Championship Series. Instead, the Milwaukee Brewers turned it into one of the most incredible double plays in postseason history. With the bases loaded and one out in the fourth inning, Muncy hit a long drive to center field. Sal Frelick jumped and reached over the wall in an attempt to make the catch. The ball popped out of Frelick’s glove and hit the top of the fence before Frelick caught it in the air. He fired the ball in, and Brewers catcher William Contreras forced out one runner at home plate and another at third base for a most unusual 8-6-2 inning-ending double play.

Brewers turn potential grand slam by Dodgers slugger Max Muncy into wild double play in NLCS. Los Angeles’ Max Muncy was inches away from hitting a grand slam to open the scoring in the NL Championship Series on Monday. It instead turned into one of the most unusual double plays in postseason history. Milwaukee's Sal Frelick nearly robbed Muncy of a homer before the ball popped out of his glove and hit the wall. The Dodgers runners were caught flat-footed without apparently knowing whether the ball was caught. The Brewers then forced out runners at the plate and at third base.

Brewers include Myers rather than Mears on NLCS roster; Dodgers add Casparius to their bullpen. Milwaukee right-hander Nick Mears was left off the Brewers’ roster for their NL Championship Series matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers after making 63 relief appearances during the regular season. Milwaukee instead included right-hander Tobias Myers. Myers wasn't on Milwaukee's roster for its NL Division Series with the Chicago Cubs. Game 1 of the NLCS is Monday at Milwaukee. The Dodgers also altered their bullpen for this series. They added one more pitcher by including right-hander Ben Casparius and leaving out catcher Dalton Rushing.

Orion Kerkering (P - PHI)

Failures on sports' biggest stages provide unique glimpse into how to overcome adversity. Athletes confront failure as often as success during competition. High-profile mistakes, like Simone Biles' "twisties" or Bill Buckner's infamous error, are reminders of this reality. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Orion Kerkering mishandling a crucial play that led to his team's elimination from the MLB playoffs brings these mistakes back into the spotlight. Experts say overcoming such failures isn't easy. Sports psychologists emphasize mental preparation and coping strategies. Techniques like "release, reset, refocus" help athletes move past mistakes. It's also helpful, they say, that there's growing acceptance of mental strategies in sports, underscoring their importance in performance.
