Miller sets relief record after another dominant outing

Andrew Miller has been untouchable this October, and now he can prove it by pointing to the record books.

When the Cleveland Indians reliever completed his 1 1/3-inning relief outing in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday, he'd set a new record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched by a reliever in one postseason. Miller has now thrown 15 consecutive innings without allowing a run in these playoffs, surpassing the mark of 14 1/3, set by former Yankees closer Goose Gossage in 1981.

Miller entered the game with a man on second in the fifth inning and ended the Cubs' threat by getting pinch hitter Miguel Montero to fly out. He then struck out the side in the sixth.

Postseason success is nothing new for the 31-year-old, as his career playoff ERA stands at 0.00 through 23 1/3 innings in October, dating back to his first appearance in 2014.

Once a mediocre starter struggling to stay in the majors, Miller - the sixth overall pick by Detroit in 2006 - moved to the bullpen full-time in 2011 and has remade himself into one of the most feared relievers in baseball.
