Bryce Miller to Start Game 5 of ALCS Against Blue Jays
Bryce Miller will make the start in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Friday in Seattle against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to manager Dan Wilson. Right-hander Bryan Woo will be available out of the bullpen if Miller needs help early on. The Mariners will be hoping for a repeat of Miller's Game 1 performance, when he allowed only one run in six innings on short rest for a win. This time, the 27-year-old will be on regular rest while going up against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Miller dealt with injuries in the regular season and made only 18 starts, but he's been better in two postseason starts. In a no-decision in Game 4 of the AL Division Series against the Tigers, he gave up two earned runs with no walks and two K's in 4 1/3 frames. Miller faced Toronto just once in the regular season on May 11 and was hit hard, surrendering seven earned runs on eight hits (one homer) while walking two and fanning three in five innings.
