After facing adversity for the first time in his young major league career, Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Bobby Miller will take the mound again Saturday at home against the Houston Astros.
Miller gave up just two runs over the first four starts of his career but was roughed up for seven runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the San Francisco Giants last Saturday.Things were going according to plan for Miller against the Giants when he opened with four scoreless innings while allowing two hits. But the 24-year-old gave up four runs in the fifth inning and went down 5-0 in the sixth when he was removed with two runners on base.
In five career starts, Miller has pitched following a loss four times. But he will take the mound following Friday's 3-2 Dodgers victory. Blanco, who has never faced the Dodgers, enters off a no-decision Sunday at home against the Cincinnati Reds when he gave up five runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings with two walks and five strikeouts. It was the most runs he has allowed in 19 career appearances .
