Angels' Dyar Miller Convincing Skeptics At Last
Dyar Miller, traded from Baltimore for Dick Drago, has surprised skeptics with strong relief work for the Los Angeles Angels. Since joining in mid June he pitched 39 innings across 12 appearances, earning a 1–0 record and several wins, while proving his doubters wrong after a winding path from college to the majors. Miller, a Utah State history major, rose from minor leagues to bullpen ace despite early dismissals by Phillies and Orioles.
