After a pair of encouraging outings, Red Sox starter Wade Miley has reverted back to the struggling pitcher we saw earlier this month. On Tuesday, Miley allowed seven runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings to the White Sox. He walked three and struck out five in the 9-4 loss.
Miley (8-9) got off to a rough start in this one, allowing five runs in the top of the first inning. He managed to settle in over the next four innings, but then allowed a two-run home run to Jose Abreu in the sixth inning.
Miley had given up a total of one run in 13 innings over his previous two starts. In three starts prior to that, he had allowed 13 runs over 17 innings. Overall, he is 2-4 with a 5.31 ERA in six starts this month.
