Miller didn't factor into the decision Friday during Game 5 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays, allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four-plus innings.
AnalysisIt looked like the 27-year-old righty was about to let the game get out of hand once he loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, but he struck out
Daulton Varsho and coerced a double play out of
Ernie Clement to get through the inning unscored upon. Miller came back out to begin the fifth frame but was pulled after allowing a leadoff single to
Addison Barger, who eventually came around to score. Because he threw only 56 pitches Friday, Miller may be able to work out of the bullpen during a potential Game 7.
