Not only did
Wade Miley deliver five shoutout innings yesterday—he also pitched at a pace that will put a smile of Commissioner
Rob Manfred's face. In the tie with the Pirates,
Rusney Castillo and
Jackie Bradley, Jr. each had two hits and
Alan Craig had an RBI. The left-handed Miley took
a total of 19 minutes to work his five frames—talking an average of 17 seconds to deliver each pitch. Gee, maybe there's a correlation between working fast and getting batters out.
