Braves starter Shelby Miller continued his winless trend, as he took the loss on Saturday against the Nationals. Miller was mostly responsible for this loss however, as he allowed seven runs on seven hits over 4 1/3 innnings. He walked three and struck out four in the 8-2 loss.
Miller (5-13, 2.68 ERA) was lit up for four runs in the third inning, incluing a two-run bomb by Bryce Harper. The Nationals scratched across two more runs in the fourth and another in the fifth before Miller was pulled from the game.
In his last 15 starts, Miller has been given a total of 14 runs of support. Of course, Miller has now gone 20 consecutive starts without a win.
