"I want to be that guy to turn things around, and for it to happen like that, it's kind of rough to go out there and give up seven runs, especially with the rough streak we're having," Miller said. "That's just icing on the cake, as far as frustration."
On the way to taking their 11th straight loss and 18th in their past 19 games, the Braves gained some early encouragement from Miller, who breezed through the first two innings in perfect fashion. He might have actually retired each of the first nine batters he faced had a left corneal abrasion not influenced the fact that Cameron Maybin never saw Ian Desmond's pop fly that resulted in a leadoff double to begin the four-run third inning.
