Miller did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over six innings while striking out seven.
Miller impressed during his time on the mound, allowing only a solo shot by Josh Jung in the top of the second inning. It marked the right-hander's second consecutive quality start and the third time in his last four outings that he allowed one or fewer runs. Miller also managed to record seven strikeouts on the night despite generating only six whiffs, marking his highest strikeout total this month. He now carries a 2.16 ERA through three September starts to go along with a 15:6 K:BB.

Mariners' Bryce Miller: Blanks Cards for 11th win
Rotowire
Miller (11-8) picked up the win in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Cardinals, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.
The right-hander fired 62 of 94 pitches for strikes and benefitted from some impressive defense behind him when St. Louis put the ball in play. The quality start was his 15th of the year, and he's given up three runs or fewer in six straight outings, posting a 1.56 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB in 34.2 innings over that stingy stretch. Miller will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rangers.
Miller (10-8) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Sunday.
Miller has failed to complete five innings in three of his last six starts, though this was his first loss since June 29. He threw 53 of 91 pitches for strikes in this inefficient outing, which saw him walk multiple batters for just the second time in his last 12 appearances. Miller is now at a 3.30 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 147:36 K:BB through 155.1 innings over 27 starts. He pitched a total of 151 innings across all levels last year, so he should be good for at least couple of starts before fatigue would be a concern. If the Mariners get hot in September, Miller may be asked to tough it out for the regular season, but there's a chance he gets shut down early if the team ends up out of the playoff race. For now, Miller is projected to make his next start at St. Louis.
Miller (10-7) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out 10 batters over seven innings.
Miller was dominant in the outing, racking up 14 whiffs and tying a season high with 10 punchouts. The only run he allowed came on a Josh Lowe solo homer in the second inning, and Miller surrendered just one other hit (a single by Lowe in the fifth). The right-handed hurler has been outstanding of late, allowing just three runs (all on solo homers) over his past four starts covering 24 frames.. Miller has broken through in his second big-league campaign -- he ranks 11th among qualified starters with a 3.23 ERA and fourth with a 0.98 WHIP while registering a 143:33 K:BB over 150.2 innings.
Mariners' Bryce Miller: Only completes four frames
Rotowire
Miller did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings.
Miller started out excellent by striking out the side in the first but needed 92 pitches to complete four frames, with 51 of those pitches coming in the third and fourth innings. Miller was able to hold the Dodgers scoreless through three but was victimized by the home-run ball in the fourth when he gave up solo shots to Gavin Lux and Max Muncy. Those were the first two home runs he's given up in four August starts and he's only given up four homers total since the start of July. The 25-year-old owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 133:33 K:BB in 143.2 innings and lines up to face the Rays at home to begin next week.
Mariners' Bryce Miller: Excellent again in no-decision
Rotowire
Miller didn't factor into the decision in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers. He allowed just two hits while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.
Miller was dominant Tuesday, though he'd ultimately come away with a no-decision after the Mariners' bullpen gave up two runs in the eighth. The 25-year-old right-hander has delivered 13 scoreless innings over his last two starts, allowing just five hits while striking out 15 in that span. Overall, Miller is 9-7 this year with a 3.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 128:31 K:BB across 139.2 innings. He'll have a tougher matchup in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week on the road against the Dodgers.
Miller (9-7) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Mets.
This was Miller's third scoreless outing in his last five starts, as well as his fourth quality start in that span. The 25-year-old right-hander has found success lately by limiting the long ball, giving up just two home runs over his last seven outings. For the season, Miller has recorded a 3.46 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 119:31 K:BB over 132.2 innings across 23 starts. He's projected for a road outing in Detroit next week.
Mariners' Bryce Miller: Can't make it through five frames
Rotowire
Miller did not factor into the decision in an extra-inning win over the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out four.
The Phillies' lineup put Miller to task early, posting back-to-back hits to open the contest before tagging the right-hander for one run in the first. Miller then managed to keep Philadelphia off the board over the next three innings, but he had to be relieved by Tayler Saucedo with one out in the fifth after failing to retire three of the first four batters he faced in the frame. The 25-year-old Miller had gone at least six innings in three consecutive starts coming into Saturday's no-decision, while the four runs were the most he's surrendered since June 23 against the Marlins (span of five starts). On a positive note, Miller has issued only two walks since the start of July while posting 21 strikeouts over that stretch.
