Padres dismiss Mason Miller pitch-tipping speculation, prepare to face Brewers with season on line

- On Monday at Petco Park, San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen dismissed online speculation that closer Mason Miller was tipping pitches during the team's Game 2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

- Stammen said the team monitors pitchers daily and is 'well aware of what's going on with our pitchers,' dismissing internet rumors as taking matters 'farther than they need to go.'

- Pivetta believes the Padres can overcome the deficit, a feat managed by only 10 of the 93 MLB teams to fall behind 0-2 in a best-of-five series; Manny Machado added, 'Ultimately it's about getting that big hit in those big moments.
