Flores homers and drives in 4 to lead Giants over Astros 7-2

Wilmer Flores hit his third homer of the season and drove in four runs to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 7-2 win over the Houston Astros

Makes spring debut Miller (illness) worked around a hit batter and a base hit while recording three strikeouts over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Royals in Cactus League play.

Impact The lefty reliever made his spring debut Saturday, after he had previously been delayed due to finger numbness and then an illness. With Miller returning to action Saturday with an impressive appearance, the missed time shouldn't affect his chances of securing a spot in San Francisco's Opening Day bullpen. Over his 73 appearances with San Francisco in 2024, Miller covered 67.1 innings and registered a 3.88 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 87:38 K:BB while collecting four wins and 14 holds.

Will Miller be the Giants' only lefty option in the bullpen? SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- For a while, Erik Miller felt like the universe was conspiring to keep him off the mound this spring.

MARCH 9, 2025 • MLB.COM

Will Erik Miller be Giants' only left-handed reliever? No one has 'stood out yet' Erik Miller is the lone left-handed reliever on the San Francisco Giants’ 40-man roster. They’re hoping another lefty emerges in camp.

Will return to mound Friday Miller (illness) will return to Cactus League action Friday against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Miller was knocked out of commission for a few days with an elevated fever, but he's on the mend. The left-handed reliever collected a 3.88 ERA and 87:38 K:BB across 67.1 innings for the Giants in 2024.

Battling illness Miller (finger) didn't throw his scheduled live bullpen session Saturday due to an illness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Miller has been dealing with numbness in a finger on his left (throwing) hand recently, though that isn't what held him back Saturday. The 27-year-old southpaw will take a day or two to recover before continuing to work toward making his spring debut.

Impact The left-hander is expected to be ready to go within the next few days, but the Giants planned to slow play him early in camp regardless of the injury due to workload concerns. Miller made 73 appearances as a rookie last year and had a 3.88 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 87:38 K:BB across 67.1 innings while recording 14 holds.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs fourth win Miller (4-5) allowed a hit and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 1.2 scoreless innings, earning the win Sunday over the Padres.

Impact Spencer Bivens got the start but couldn't get through five innings. The Giants led 6-1 when Bivens was relieved by Miller, and they were able to hold the lead the rest of the way to give the southpaw reliever his first win since July 9. Since the start of August, Miller has a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB over 14 innings. He's at a 3.65 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 78:34 K:BB with 12 holds over 61.2 innings this season.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Handed another loss Miller (3-5) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one-third of an inning, taking the extra-inning loss Friday versus the Mariners.

Impact Miller has been on the hook for the loss in each of his last two outings, though this was less his fault than his meltdown versus the White Sox on Wednesday. He's still allowed seven runs (six earned) over his last seven innings, and a 9:8 K:BB in that span isn't helping his cause. Miller is now at a 3.90 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB through 55.1 innings on the year. He's added 12 holds, but a BB/9 of 5.2 is far too high for him to be effective in any sort of high-leverage role.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes fourth loss Miller (3-4) allowed three runs on a hit and two walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Wednesday versus the White Sox.

Impact Miller loaded the bases in the top of the ninth inning, and Spencer Bivens allowed all three of those runners to score. That left Miller with his first loss since July 22. The southpaw has allowed eight runs over 12 innings since the All-Star break, adding an 18:10 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 3.93 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 66:32 K:BB with 12 holds and three blown saves over 55 innings this season. He's earned just one hold since the start of July, so he's not currently in the mix for steady high-leverage chances.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will open Sunday's game Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jordan Hicks was slated to start in the series finale Sunday, but it appears he will move to the bullpen, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. It will be the 10th time Miller will open this season, and over his last 10 outings he's posted a 1.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stuck with loss Monday Miller (3-3) allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Miller left runners on the corners and Randy Rodriguez gave up an RBI single to Teoscar Hernandez to put the decisive run on Miller's line. This ended the 26-year-old southpaw's scoreless streak at 10 innings. For the year, Miller has a 3.43 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 51:23 K:BB while adding 11 holds and three blown saves through 44.2 innings. With the Giants' rotation getting close to full health, it's likely Miller spends most of his time in a setup role moving forward after serving as an opener nine times earlier in the campaign.

JULY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up third win Miller (3-2) walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Blue Jays.

Impact Miller worked the ninth inning with the Giants down by a run, and they were able to score twice in their half of the frame for the walk-off win. The southpaw's ability to pick up wins has been limited lately since he saw steady usage as an opening pitcher when San Francisco's rotation was hammered by injuries in June. To his credit, he hasn't taken a loss since May 21, and he's yet to be on the hook for a loss in any of his nine starting assignments. Miller is on an eight-inning scoreless streak that has trimmed his ERA to 3.43 with a 1.19 WHIP and 46:22 K:BB through 42 innings this season. He's added 11 holds and three blown saves.

Will open Friday's game Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Friday's game in Cleveland, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It's a role Miller is familiar with and succeeded at, having opened eight times already this season and allowed two runs (one earned) over 8.2 innings. Spencer Bivens is a candidate for bulk relief Friday.

Opening Tuesday's game Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miller was unavailable to pitch over the weekend due to a calf injury, but he appears to be fine now. Baggarly notes that the Giants have discussed recalling Spencer Howard to serve as a bulk reliever Tuesday, although there's nothing official yet on that front.

MAY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as opener Thursday Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Mason Black had been lined up to start Thursday, but he could be deployed as a bulk reliever in the series finale once Miller exits the contest. Miller has been used as an opener once previously this season, throwing a scoreless inning in Boston back on May 1.

MAY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Handed loss Tuesday Miller (0-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit without retiring a batter to take the extra-inning loss Tuesday versus the Pirates.

Impact Miller gave up a walk-off single to Nick Gonzales in the 10th inning after the duo of Luke Jackson and Camilo Doval gave away a four-run lead in the ninth. This was the first time in May that Miller gave up a run without surrendering a homer. The southpaw has allowed four runs (three earned) with an 11:8 K:BB over nine innings this month, and he's at a mediocre 4.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB through 22 innings overall. Miller has also added eight holds and taken two blown saves.

MAY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as opener Wednesday Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The 26-year-old rookie will be making his first big-league start. Miller hasn't recorded more than four outs in any of his 13 relief appearances this season, so he's unlikely to cover more than an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen. Right-hander Daulton Jefferies was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday and is expected to serve as the Giants' primary pitcher out of the bullpen once Miller exits the contest.
