Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Stymies Orioles in Friday's no-decision
Miller didn't factor into the decision Friday versus the Orioles, but fired six innings of scoreless, three-hit ball, walking three and striking out three.
Analysis:
He was notably impressive against a potent lineup on the road, certainly a departure from his other three starts in September, when he'd given up 15 runs (12 earned) over 14.2 innings. The strong outing didn't do much to spruce up Miller's unsightly numbers, which include a 6.47 ERA and 1.70 WHIP along with a 2-12 record, but it was certainly a welcome sight given his recent performances. He'll look to close out a dismal 2016 with another strong performance versus the Nationals.
