Miley struck out two and allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks in 6.2 innings Monday at Houston.
Miley got better results than he has recently, as he had gone more than five innings just once in his previous five starts. He dodged a major bullet in the first inning when only one run scored after he loaded the bases on a double, single and walk. All three outs were hit on the screws, and he was fortunate to escape. If Wade LeBlanc continues to pitch well, there's a chance Miley gets bounced from the rotation when Felix Hernandez is ready to return after the All-Star break.
