Erik Miller struggles as Red Sox aim for playoff position

Boston Red Sox pitcher Erik Miller faces criticism for his recent performance as the team pursues a playoff spot. He admits to a lack of confidence after allowing six earned runs in his last four appearances. Despite an early-season showing of strong control, Miller's walk rate has surged, complicating his role in high-pressure situations. The Red Sox recently clinched a playoff spot but require a turnaround from Miller, who has not consistently found the strike zone. Manager Chad Tracy remains supportive, aiming to see improvement before the postseason begins.
