Cardinals starter Shelby Miller improved to 15-9 with a victory over Washington on Wednesday.

Miller finished with one run allowed on four hits and three walks over six innings. He only struck out three hitters and he induced just four swinging strikes, so it wasn't his sharpest outing ever, but it's a sign of his talent that he can get such good results when he isn't at his best. Miller would likely be a frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year in most other seasons -- i.e. seasons with Jose Fernandez or Yasiel Puig.
