San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller recorded the final three outs for Team USA in a World Baseball Classic semifinal thriller on Sunday night. Will he be an option if U.S. manager Mark DeRosa needs a save on Tuesday night in the WBC final against Venezuela?

Padres manager Craig Stammen said a decision on the availability of All-Star closer Mason Miller for Team USA's upcoming World Baseball Classic championship game Tuesday is to be determined.

When Team USA edged the Dominican Republic in a thrilling 2-1 victory in their World Baseball Classic semifinal contest on Sunday night, Padres manager Craig Stammen was certainly watching like much of the baseball world.

San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen shares an obvious truth about Mason Miller after seeing him pitch for Team USA in the WBC.

Team USA might not have its closer available for Tuesday’s World Baseball Classic final vs. Venezuela. Mason Miller closed out Team USA’s semifinal win over the Dominican Republic on Sunday, striking out Geraldo Perdomo on a questionable called third strike.

The WBC semifinal had all the makings of a Fernando Tatis Jr.-Mason Miller classic, until a brutal called strike ended it too soon.
