Michael King Delivers Two Scoreless Relief Innings in Game 3 Win

Just two days after starting Game 2, Padres ace Michael King tossed 40 pitches across two scoreless relief innings in Game 3 to secure a 4-3 win over the Brewers and stave off playoff elimination. With Mason Miller on paternity leave and Adrian Morejon battling shoulder fatigue, King demanded the ball and shut down Milwaukee in the eighth and ninth. His fastball averaged over a tick higher as he notched his first save since 2023, keeping San Diego's postseason alive.
