By ⋅ September 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

By ⋅ August 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Miller Shines In Spot Start Victory Over Royals

By ⋅ August 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Apparently the 19-day layoff between starts didn’t faze Andrew Miller too much. Squeezed into the rotation for game two against Kansas City, Miller pitched 5.1 strong innings en route to a 7-1 victory. Kept to an 85-pitch count, the young lefty gave up just 1 run on 3 hits for win no. 5 of 2011.
