Miley rebounds in start vs. Blue Jays

March 8th, 2017

SARASOTA, Fla. -- pitched three scoreless innings, and hit a three-run home run as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 on Wednesday at Ed Smith Stadium.
In his last start on Friday, Miley allowed four runs in one-plus innings and left the game after he was hit by a line drive off Pittsburgh's . He allowed two hits and struck out two.
"I feel like I threw the fastball the same way last time. Didn't get a few calls. Put the ball in play a little more, obviously. I was happy with it," Miley said.
Gentry, who is trying to make the Orioles as an extra outfielder, also singled and scored in the first. Seth Smith, who had been 0-for-10, homered in the fifth inning.

Toronto's Mat Latos was removed after two innings. He allowed five runs on three hits and walked three. Despite the result, Latos was satisfied with his pitches.
"I feel great," he said. "The ball's coming out of my hand, everything, fastball. I'm not reeling back and letting it go, letting it go right now. I'm trying to really concentrate on keeping my mechanics steady with everything and just really work downhill.

Manager John Gibbons was satisfied with Latos's performance.
"Solid," Gibbons said. "I think he did get frustrated with the ump though and started scattering a little bit more. His style of throwing, he's going to get a wide variance. The big breaking curveball, he throws a lot of balls up in the zone, he's going to spike some of them. Not necessarily an easy guy to call back there, but I thought he really squeezed him."
