All eyes were on Mason Miller once again in his second major league start, just the twelfth of his career. Once again, he showed about what you’d expect for a 24-year-old rookie with just 33 professional innings under his belt.
Miller utilized his flaming, nasty stuff alongside his tight command to strike out 6 batters and walk just one. Two of those six just happened to be a pair of the best hitters in the world: Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout.
Both happened in the bottom of the 1st inning, with Trout coming up first out of the 2-hole an inning after Trout pounded a ground-rule double off Miller just an inning earlier.
