Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller lost his second game of the season Wednesday against the Reds.
Miller was able to pitch around trouble in the first inning. After giving up a leadoff triple to Billy Hamilton, Miller managed to get out of the inning unscathed. He escaped from a similar jam in the third, after giving up a walk and single to consecutive batters.
Miller gave up his first two runs in the fourth, when Devin Mesoraco was able to take a fastball out to left for a two-run shot. He gave up a third run on a Jay Bruce sac fly in the fifth. The ball wasn't hit deep, but Hamilton was tagging up and third and managed to beat the throw.
Miller gave up seven hits and three walks during the appearance. He struck out five batters. Miller's next start will come against the Brewers.
