Left In: P Miller plays OF while Pirates beat D-backs in 13

PHOENIX -- Arizona pitcher Shelby Miller played left field and chased after Sean Rodriguez's go-ahead double in the 13th inning before striking out to end the game, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Diamondbacks 12-10 on Sunday.

Miller had to play the outfield after shortstop Nick Ahmed was ejected in the 12th for arguing balls and strikes. Miller is the first Diamondback pitcher to play a position and the first major leaguer to do so since Jason Gurka played right field for the Colorado Rockies on Sept.
