"It was certainly a matter of circumstance," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said when asked before the game if Miller had earned his callback based on his performance in Triple-A where he gave up nine runs in 13 innings. "But I think that's the way it happens a lot of times also."
"It's really just falling behind a few guys. I really think that was the weak spot tonight, just falling behind with early off-speed and fastballs yanking a couple," Miller said. "Just focus on getting 'Strike one' on every single batter and it's a different ballgame."
Although he now holds an 8.02 ERA in 33.2 innings this season, the Dodgers find themselves with few options in their rotation, so Miller is expected to get at least one more start with the club: "That's the thought right now, yeah," Roberts said. "But he has to continue to show some improvement, too."
