Diamondbacks starting pitcher Wade Miley has fallen on hard times following a promising start to the season. After beginning the year 3-1 with a 2.93 ERA through seven starts, Miley takes a four-game losing streak into Wednesday's start against the Cardinals.
"I don't want to think about it," Miley said, per MLB.com. "I don't even want to talk about it until after. I just want to go pitch. That's pretty much it."
Miley has allowed seven runs in each of his last two starts and has a 9.14 ERA during his four-game slide, which has sent his ERA skyrocketing to 5.01.
"If you get too analytical, it's very, very dangerous," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "It's more of a feel of how you're going to do it; you've got a conviction of where you're going to throw your pitch, or offensively what kind of pitch you're going to hit."
