Bobby Miller was dominant in his Dodger Stadium debut, holding the Washington Nationals to four hits over six innings in the Dodgers' 6-1 victory.
Bobby MillerThe strapping 6-foot-5, 220-pounder with a triple-digit fastball and knee-buckling curve was dominant in his second big league start Monday night, holding the Washington Nationals to one run and four hits in six efficient innings of aMiller, a 2020 first-round pick out of Louisville, struck out four, walked one and needed only 87 pitches — 54 of them strikes — to complete six innings against a Nationals lineup that entered Monday with a major league-leading .
Miller , who held the Atlanta Braves to one run and four hits in five innings of an 8-1 win in his big league debut last Tuesday, also appears to have the composure to match his stuff, which wasn’t always the case. A Dodgers offense that averaged 6.2 runs a game on the trip exploded for six unearned runs in the fifth to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 6-1 lead, with the team’s two hottest hitters, Freeman and J.D. Martinez, providing the big blows.
Will Smith walked, and Martinez, who struck out in his first two at-bats against Washington right-hander Trevor Williams , drove an 88-mph fastball on the outer half over the right-center-field wall for a three-run homer and a 6-1 lead.
