Snake bites

• D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said Wade Miley feels fine a day after being struck in the back of the knee with a line drive. The left-hander allowed four straight singles to the Padres after being hit and eventually left the game completing just 3 2/3 innings of work and surrendering seven earned runs.

"He's got five days to get ready for his next start," Gibson said. "He's just not executing his pitches. He's fine health wise. He just needs to execute his pitches better."

• In his second rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Willie Bloomquist (oblique) went 1-for-3 with a run scored.
