Bryce Miller Continues Excellent Season, Strikes Out 11 in a Loss
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller allowed two home runs and picked up his second loss of the year in Thursday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates, but he still pitched extremely well. Miller allowed three earned runs on five hits while walking none and striking out a season-high 11 batters in 5 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old got off to a late start to the 2026 season while recovering from an injury, but he has been very strong in his first eight starts and now sports an ERA under 2.00. Miller has had at least seven strikeouts in each of his last four starts, and he hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his 2026 starts yet. In addition to his nice 1.97 ERA, Miller will carry a 0.72 WHIP and 54:5 K:BB in 45 2/3 frames into an amazing matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels his next time out. Based on how well Miller has looked in 2026, fantasy managers should consider him a must-start for his next outing against the Halos. Miller is now rostered in 80% of Yahoo leagues.
