Cardinals starter Shelby Miller had everything going but good luck Wednesday afternoon in helping his team complete a sweep of Pittsburgh.
The right-hander hurled seven scoreless innings, giving up just five hits with three walks and five strikeouts. Miller allowed two baserunners only in the second and seventh innings. Unfortunately, his teammates were in the process of getting shut out until the ninth.
Miller, who broke a slump in which he had yielded 14 runs in his previous 24 innings, has not notched a win since July 31. He will seek to rectify that when he pitches at Cincinnati on Monday.
