Miller relishes time in the big leagues

SAN DIEGO -- Rockies reliever Justin Miller has made a few memories for himself since being called up Sept. 2 from Triple-A Albuquerque.

On that day, Miller recorded his first career save, pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the D-backs in Colorado's 9-4 win.

In Monday's 6-4 win over San Diego, Miller etched his name into the Rockies' record books, becoming the first reliever in franchise history to fan all four batters faced in a relief appearance.

After the game, manager Walt Weiss used the term "big time" to describe the right-hander's performance.

"I honestly didn't even know about it until the next day," Miller said about the record.
