RHP Shelby Miller (5-3) had his scoreless streak of 14 2/3 innings snapped in the first inning against the Padres. Miller, who gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings Monday, has a 1.74 ERA, which ranks fifth in the majors. "It seems like 20 pitches every single inning every single outing, back-to-back starts," Miller said. "Throwing so many pitches in back-to-back games is not good. It accumulates with a little bit of everything. My curveball wasn't really good tonight. Neither was my changeup. My fastball was really there, but multiple things were off."
