For the first time this season, Braves pitcher Shelby Miller was not able to pitch at least five innings during Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Miller allowed a season-high four runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings of work. He also walked a season-high six batters while striking out two and he received a no-decision for his effort.
Tuesday's start broke his streak of earning a quality start in his last eight starts. Miller had allowed a total of four runs in his last four starts before surrendering four runs Tuesday. His next expected start is scheduled for Monday against the Padres.
"I just didn't get in the groove type thing, but those kinds of days happen," Miller said, per MLB.com. "I mean, you're human. You look at Felix Hernandez's start [on Monday night in a Mariners' 7-1 loss to the Yankees] and other guys who are doing well have poor starts. That kind of stuff's going to happen."
