Diamondbacks starting pitcher Wade Miley didn't get much run support Sunday at Atlanta, but the left-handed hurler didn't need it during a 3-1 win. He allowed just one run on five hits and one walk, while striking out eight over 6 2/3 innings.
Miley (4-6) ran into some early trouble, allowing two of the first three batters he faced to reach base with singles. But Miley escaped the first-inning jam unscathed and didn't give up his only run of the game until Chris Johnson's RBI single with one out in the fourth.
Following Johnson's RBI single, Miley retired 10 straight batters before Christian Bethancourt's single with two outs in the seventh chased him from the game.
Miley earned his first win in 10 starts. His last win came May 10 against the White Sox. Though, Miley has allowed just three runs through two July starts (14 2/3 innings) and has at least eight strikeouts in six of his last eight starts.
He's scheduled to make his next start Saturday at San Francisco. Miley is 1-0 with a 5.14 ERA against the Giants this season.
