Astros' Wade Miley: Gets back on track

Miley (14-5) allowed two earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and two walks across six innings as he earned the win Sunday against the Royals.

Miley had a brutal start to September, giving up 12 earned runs in just 0.1 innings pitched. Prior to those two starts, Miley was on an absolute tear, compiling a 2.54 ERA through July and August while posting a 54:23 K:BB across 60.1 innings. The left-hander finally returned to his old self Sunday, which was definitely a huge confidence booster for someone the Astros need to produce in the playoffs. Miley is expected to take the mound next Saturday or Sunday against the Angels, who are now without star center fielder Mike Trout (foot) for the rest of the season.
