All-Star Shelby Miller has made 18 starts for the Braves this season, but he might be more eager for No. 20 than any of the others.
That will will be July 25 at Busch Stadium against the Cardinals, who traded him to Atlanta.
"I'm definitely excited to be back there," he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Miller added that his improvement, which has resulted in a 5-5 record and 2.38 ERA (ranking sixth in the National League) had nothing to do with the deal. Rather, it was the result of his work on a sinker that has continued to improve.
His next start is slated for Sunday against the Cubs.
