But the Dodgers scored a run off Mason Miller (introduced with pomp and video flames on the scoreboard as \u2018The Reaper\u2019) in the ninth inning and beat him and the San Diego Padres, 5-4, on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=8039\">Baseball playoffs roundup: Newport Harbor reaches quarterfinals; Fullerton edges CdM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the win, the Dodgers have split the first two games of the series at Petco Park and moved back into a half-game lead over the Padres in the National League West.<\/p>\n<p>The loss was Miller\u2019s first of the season and the unearned run that decided the game was only the third run he has surrendered in 22-2\/3 innings this season.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n<p>Miller entered in the ninth inning with the score tied at 4-4. After Will Smith flew out, Max Muncy worked a full count and took a slider near the outside corner that was called strike three by home plate umpire Rob Drake. Muncy immediately tapped his helmet to challenge the call and was rewarded with a walk when ABS showed it off the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Call pinch-ran for Muncy and broke for second as Miller prepared to deliver an 0-and-1 pitch to Andy Pages. But Miller stepped off and had Call hung up between first and second base. His pickoff throw was wild and Call advanced all the way to third base on the error.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=8038\">Cypress baseball shuts out Sierra Canyon to move on in CIF-SS playoffs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pages fell behind 0-and-2 but fought for eight pitches, fouling off pitches that came in at 101, 102 and 101 mph before driving a fly ball to medium depth right field.
