Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller was saddled with a loss Monday after giving up three earned runs on seven hits and one walk in seven innings while striking out two in his team's 6-0 defeat against the Royals.
Miller (6-5) has now dropped three straight starts, though this was his first quality start during the losing streak. He managed to blank the Royals through six innings before giving up all three runs in the seventh, one on a home run and two on a double. Miler owns a 3.93 ERA and 48:33 K:BB ratio in 68 2/3 innings. He'll face the Blue Jays Saturday.
