Miller pitched just 4.1 innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out eight in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs. Miller, who recently suffered a shin bruise in his last start, did not look sharp Tuesday. With 183 innings on the year, the Cardinals may have wanted to scale back Miller's work in preparation for their forthcoming playoff series, as this was his last start of the regular season. He ends his season with 10 wins to go with a 3.74 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 127:73 K:BB ratio.
