Cardinals starting pitcher Shelby Miller struck out 10 batters without issuing a walk Wednesday against the Mets but surrendered four earned runs on five hits in six innings to take a loss and drop to 7-4 on the year.
The Mets jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first inning and added solo home runs in the fourth and sixth innings. It was the first time all season Miller has allowed more than three earned runs in a start. He'll take a 2.21 ERA and 91:17 K:BB ratio into Wednesday's home game against the Cubs.
