DeFabo notes in a recent article that Milroe “has generated a lot of buzz in Pittsburgh,” and highlights comments made on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, who said an executive told him the Steelers “really like” Milroe. According to DeFabo, however, he’s “hearing the exact opposite.” The Steelers beat writer goes so far as to predict the team wouldn’t take Milroe if he “is sitting there in the third round.” The Steelers are in need of a quarterback, again, and the Aaron Rodgers saga doesn’t appear to be getting resolved any time soon. Assuming there’s a prospect they like in the draft, the Steelers feel like a near lock to take a shot on a signal-caller at some point, but DeFabo’s bold prediction suggests Milroe is nowhere near the team’s radar. We’ll see how things play out in the coming days, with the draft just days away.

The 430-foot homer, which also played Elias Díaz, was Tatis’s 11th of the season. Tatis also walked and scored in the Padres’ two-run rally that tied the game in the eighth. His 11th homer puts him in a tie for eighth in the majors. He’s also eighth with his .963 OPS.

Cease was pulled with a 2-1 lead after walking a batter with two outs in the seventh and then watched as the Angels went on to score three runs in the frame. It left him with his sixth no-decision in nine starts. Still, he set a season-high for strikeouts for the second straight outing. He has a 3.06 ERA and a 40/12 K/BB while going 0-1 in his last six starts.

Both runs came in the fifth inning, which featured errors by Jo Adell and Logan O’Hoppe. Neither of those technically cost the Angels an out, but they allowed runners to advance, and the second run scored on a squeeze bunt from Martín Maldonado. It was Soriano’s sixth straight start without a win, and he remains 2-4 with a 3.46 ERA. He’ll pitch in Sacramento next time out.

The struggling Jansen walked Elias Díaz and then gave up a game-ending homer to Fernando Tatis Jr. He’s still a perfect 7-for-7 in save chances this season, but he’s given up four homers and eight runs this month. That said, his closing gig is probably safe until he blows at least one save. It’s not like the Angels have anyone else they want to take over with Ben Joyce on the IL.

Lugo hit for Kyren Paris in the seventh and then stayed in to play center afterwards. If the Angels actually trust him in center, then there wouldn’t be any harm in giving him a look as a starter for a spell. After all, Paris is currently seven for his last 70 at the plate.

Gordon was mostly held in check on the offensive end, finishing with his fewest three-point makes of the series, the second-lowest scoring output, and no production from the free throw line. While Gordon has made several big plays down the stretch of games this postseason, he was notably quiet in Game 5, making his line feel even less spectacular. He’s performed well in Denver’s two home games this series and will need to empty the tank on Thursday in Game 6 to help the Nuggets keep their season alive.
