Wade Miley - Loses command late in outingMiley allowed two runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts through 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.ImpactMiley cruised through his first four innings of work Saturday but ran into command issues in the fifth that ultimately cost him a chance to go deeper into the game. With two on and two out, Miley walked Miguel Rojas to load the bases. He then hit Jazz Chisholm to plate a run and followed that up by issuing a free pass to Jesus Aguilar on five pitches to score another. With the bases still loaded, manager David Bell opted to go to the bullpen. After an injury-plagued 2020 and a heavy workload in 2021, the 34-year-old's command has started to slip. In his last nine starts (56 innings), the southpaw has walked 23 batters. He walked just 22 opposing hitters in his first 14 starts (81.2 innings) of the season.
