Diamondbacks starting pitcher Wade Miley was effective over six innings Sunday against the Marlins, but he ended up as the tough-luck loser in a 2-1 loss. Miley was outdueled by Ricky Nolasco, who struck out 11 in eight-plus innings.
Miley (3-3) was locked in a scoreless battle until the Marlins scored twice in the sixth inning. The left-hander was charged with two runs on five hits and a walk, while striking out six. Miley has lost three of his last four starts.
"I felt good out there," Miley said. "I was making pitches and throwing strikes. Just a couple of bad pitches cost you late in the game, especially in a game like that where it's 0-0. You've got to do better job."
Miley will pitch Saturday against the Padres. Miley lost to San Diego on May 3, allowing four runs on nine hits and three walks in five innings.
