Miley (illness) tossed five innings of shutout ball with one hit, seven walks and five strikeouts Sunday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.
Miley delivered a truly unique start after being activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, routinely escaping trouble despite throwing just 56 percent of his pitches for strikes and allowing a single for the only hit on his ledger. He left with a chance at a victory, but the Yankees took over in the latter stages and wound up with a comfortable win. Walks have always been a part of Miley's game, and results such as this will surely be hard to come by if he continues to miss the strike zone with such regularity. He will need to execute more effectively in his next start Friday against the Blue Jays.
