Watch: Miller picks up 1st save with Indians against Yankees

It didn't take long for Andrew Miller to haunt his old team.

Just six days after the New York Yankees traded the left-hander, Miller was back on the mound in the Bronx as a member of the Cleveland Indians.

After two years of dominance in pinstripes, Miller looked right at home as a visitor. He allowed one hit while striking out a pair during a 17-pitch ninth inning to preserve the 5-2 win, and pick up his first save with his new club.

Miller had made just two appearances with Cleveland before returning to New York to face the Yankees and admitted prior to the series that the timing was a little awkward.

"It's kind of weird," Miller told reporters Friday. "It's not the most exciting thing to pitch against these guys after playing with them for the last year and a half."
