San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller is on a level of his own this season, and Saturday's performance against the St. Louis Cardinals was nothing short of historic. In the ninth inning alone, Miller struck out four batters to seal the save—a feat that sounds impossible but is actually a rare, quirky baseball oddity.

Here's how it happened: Miller fanned the first two batters cleanly, no drama. But with two outs, a third strike got past the catcher, allowing the batter to reach first base safely. Instead of ending the inning, Miller had to face a fourth batter. No problem—he simply struck him out too.

For context, a four-strikeout inning requires a dropped third strike, which is uncommon enough. Doing it in a save situation? That's next-level dominance. Miller has been arguably the most unstoppable pitcher in baseball this season, and his arsenal backs it up: a fastball that touches 104 mph paired with a devastating slider.

The Cardinals couldn't solve him, even with that extra out. Miller's performance is a reminder that when he's on the mound, hitters are in for a long day—whether it's three outs or four.
