Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller started Wednesday's game against the Pirates as expected, allowing five runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out five and allowing two home runs in six innings in his team's 5-1 loss.
Miller was removed from his previous start a week prior to Wednesday's game after taking a batted ball off his pitching elbow, but it didn't cost him any time. He owns an 11-8 record, 2.97 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 137:37 K:BB ratio heading into Monday's meeting with the Brewers.
