Miller gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his 23rd save of the season in a 9-6 win over the Reds. He struck out two.
He made things interesting by putting two runners aboard with one out, but Miller then fanned Amed Rosario and Will Benson to wrap things up. The right-hander has converted all eight of his save chances in August, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings as he puts the finishing touches on a dazzling first season as Oakland's closer.
