Miley caught flipping Goldschmidt the bird on live TV

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Wade Miley pitched an incredible game on Saturday, nearly tossing a complete-game shutout against the Arizona Diamondbacks before Paul Goldschmidt scored his team's only run.

After getting pulled from the game with two outs in the ninth inning, Miley made sure to let Goldschmidt know what he thought by flipping him the bird.

Miley explained the gesture after the game, explaining it was his way of thanking Goldschmidt for ruining his shutout. The pair are close friends.

"He's just so good I just shot him the bird. He made eye contact with me. We have a pretty good relationship, so I think it’s OK," Miley told reporters after the game. "I apologize to everyone but Paul."

Miley's gem allowed the Orioles to move back into the second wild-card spot in the American League, a half-game ahead of the Detroit Tigers.
