Miley didn't factor into the decision against the Astros on Friday, giving up six earned runs on six hits over 1.2 innings while striking out five.
The veteran couldn't get anything going during his brief time on the mound and lasted just 44 pitches before getting the hook. Miley's troubles started from the first batter, as George Springer led off the game with a 404-foot solo shot to right. Matters only got worse in the second, when Tyler White drove in Evan Gattis with a two-bagger and Teoscar followed with a run-scoring single that brought White home. After plunking Springer, Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve finished off Miley with back-to-back RBI doubles that tallied three more runs on his ledger. The 29-year-old is 0-2 over his first four trips to the mound in August and will try to bounce back against the Nationals next Wednesday.
