Bryce Miller Loses Consecutive Starts by at Least 17 Runs
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller became the first pitcher since George Van Haltren of the 1890 Brooklyn Wonders to lose consecutive starts by at least 17 runs, according to ESPN Insights. In the Mariners' 19-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, Miller allowed six earned runs on two hits (two homers) while walking seven and striking out five in 4 1/3 innings for his eighth loss of the year. In his previous outing, a 22-0 shutout loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, he gave up six runs (five earned) on seven hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out three in 4 2/3 innings. The Seattle Times' Adam Jude reports that Miller admitted after Sunday's loss that he has dealt with a minor right-lat injury since his July 24 start against the division-rival Texas Rangers. He allowed five earned runs to Texas on that day and has a 7.92 ERA with 15 walks and 21 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings in his last six starts for Seattle. Fantasy managers should be avoiding Miller in his next scheduled outing this Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays, and he could be relegated to the bullpen once Bryan Woo returns from his shoulder injury.
