Erik Miller Battles Control Issues as Red Sox Weigh Postseason Role

Boston Red Sox reliever Erik Miller is facing heavy scrutiny as his career-long control problems resurface ahead of the postseason. After displaying an elite stretch early in his tenure with Boston, Miller has struggled recently, issuing nine walks over his last seven innings and contributing to recent late-game losses against Kansas City and Texas. With postseason pressure mounting, analysts and fans are questioning whether the left-hander can be trusted in high-leverage late-inning situations.
