Another start, another winless outing for Braves pitcher Shelby Miller. Miller has now gone 21 straight starts without a win, with his last win coming back on May 17.
On Thursday, Miller (5-14) allowed three runs on seven hits over six gutsy innings in the 7-2 loss to the Mets. Miller walked two and struck out five, throwing 71 of his 109 pitches for strikes.
Miller has now lost 13 consecutive starts, which ties a franchise record--and is the longest such streak in team history since 1935.
Despite the lack of wins, Miller has been one of the better pitchers in the National League this season. His 2.86 ERA currently ranks sixth in the league.
