Red Sox left-hander Wade Miley picked up his eighth win of the season in the 12-6 victory over the Blue Jays on Thursday. Miley allowed four runs on seven hits over five innings of work. He struck out two and matched a career-high with seven walks. Still, he improved to 8-7 on the season.
Miley was staked to an early 8-0 lead in the first inning. But he gave half of those runs back in a four-run second inning.
Despite his underwhelming 4.53 ERA, Miley has been rather effective lately. He has won four of his last six starts, allowing more than three runs in two of those six outings.
