Miley (7-8) notched nine strikeouts while firing seven innings of one-hit, one-run ball in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Cubs. He also issued one walk.
The veteran lefty was masterful in outdueling Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, throwing 65 of 92 pitches for strikes while inducing 12 swings-and-misses. Miley has three straight quality starts and four in his last five trips to the mound, yet Saturday's win was the only victory he's managed over that span. The nine strikeouts were also a season high, while the win put an end to a six-start losing streak. Miley will look to even his record at 8-8 when he takes on the Red Sox next Thursday.
