Miller (1-0) tossed 5 1/3 innings in Friday’s win over the Indians, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. Miller allowed three runs in the first two innings but settled down from, allowing just three of his final 14 batters to reach base. He struggled to throw strikes at times, but he relied on the strikeout to get through his 5 1/3 frames.
Cain allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings, but received no decision Friday against the Padres. Brandon Belt’s grand slam helped Cain avoid the loss, but this was not a good start for a pitcher who posted a 5.79 ERA along with a 1.51 WHIP last season.
