Miley Got Hit by a Wrecking Ball in Texas

More from SoDo Mojo

Wade Miley is another fresh (although very bearded) face in Seattle, and he too has gotten off to a slow start in 2016. The veteran southpaw allowed 5 runs on 7 hits across 6 innings of work against the Texas Rangers last week. Miley fared reasonably well until surrendering 3 runs and a monster home run to Prince Fielder in the 6th inning. However, he struck out 7 and walked none in the no-decision.

Miley is unlikely to challenge for the American League Cy Young in 2016, but he should be counted on to pitch 200 innings in the middle of the M’s rotation. He has a reputation for being a strike thrower, and that was definitely the case last week. Hopefully he is able to locate his pitches a little better his next time out.
