Miller struggles as Diamondbacks stumble against Pirates
Polanco notes a poor day for Miller who allowed six runs in five innings, raising his ERA to 7.09 after an All Star past with Atlanta. The Diamondbacks, hoping Miller and Zack Greinke would lead a return to contention, again saw command and ballpark issues. Francisco Liriano dominated for Pittsburgh, boosting his own strong run at PNC Park as the Pirates won 10-2 on the homestand.
