Miller, who will take the ball on Sunday afternoon against the Marlins, has now lost 15 consecutive decisions and has gone 23 starts since his most recent victory. For those who are counting, the latter mark is just five behind the all-time record (more on that below). Although we know that pitcher wins are largely reflective of team -- not individual -- performance, that's still quite the unfortunate run.
There is no easy explanation for it, either. In 10 of Miller's past 23 starts, he's gone at least six innings while surrendering two earned runs or fewer. And though the Braves have struggled this year, the club has gone 3-20 during Miller's victory-less skid, compared to 40-52 in all other games in the span.
