Miller allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks across five innings pitched en route to a loss Sunday against the Cubs. He struck out six.
Miller faltered for the second straight start, serving up hittable pitches despite throwing 62% for strikes. The increase in strikeouts from his first start was a positive sign, but the fact that he has struggled in back-to-back home starts to begin his Arizona career is disconcerting. Miller will try to right the ship Saturday at San Diego.
