Shelby Miller made a successful return from injury holding the Phillies to one run in 6 2/3 innings. More importantly, his walks and strikeouts seem to be back in sync. He walked one and struck out five. Before he went on the disabled list, Miller was over two more walks per nine innings compared to his career, and about one and a half fewer strikeouts per nine innings, compared to his career. Miller tried to pitch through an injury to his finger, but what appears to be a minor injury can have major consequences.
Now that Miller is back, and Zack Greinke figured out Chase Field, I wonder if the Diamondbacks can make a run at the playoffs? They are only 5 1/2 games out of the wild card, and Miami and the Dodgers don’t look that strong.
