The young right-hander now holds a 6.02 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and 40/20 K/BB ratio over 49 1/3 innings (10 starts) this season for Pittsburgh.
Miley held the Red Sox to a lone run over seven innings in a win Thursday. Miley scattered five hits and a walk while striking out three in the outing. The win snapped a winless streak dating back to April 14, despite the southpaw pitching well for much of the year. Through Thursday, Miley is 2-3 with a 2.82 ERA in 11 starts overall.
