Miley cruises past Royals : Diamondbacks starter Wade Miley tossed seven shutout innings during Sunday's series finale against the Royals. Miley, who was making his sixth start of the year, limited Kansas City to just five hits while throwing 99 pitches in the 2-0 win. The Royals' best chance to score came in the fourth inning when Billy Butler and Jeff Francoeur were at second and third with one out. However, Miley was able to get Eric Hosmer to pop up in the infield and Brayan Pena to ground out to escape the jam. He finished with three strikeouts and two walks, while improving to 5-1 on the year. (Updated 05/20/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Miley turned in another strong performance on Sunday as he was able to help the Diamondbacks take the series. The left-hander has allowed three runs or less in five of his six starts this season, which has prompted manager Kirk Gibson to leave in the rotation until Daniel Hudson returns. Miley has also racked up 27 strikeouts over his 46 1/3 innings pitched and will look to pick up his third straight when he makes his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Brewers. Miley has gone 1-1 with a 2.31 ERA in two starts at Chase Field this season. Continue to roll with the 25-year-old as a viable option in deeper mixed and NL-only formats heading into his next outing.

05/10/2012 13:58 Beyond the Numbers: Why infield defense matters
How much does a pitcher benefit from a good infield defense? Our Al Melchior shares some observations about a few pitchers that every owner should consider in his latest Beyond the Numbers.
Wade Miley struggled in his debut with Arizona late in 201. With 25 strikeouts and 18 walks over his first 40 major league innings, Miley exhibited some of the command issues that have plagued him at times as a minor leaguer. What the 25-year-old lefty has done consistently well at all levels is to induce ground balls, so even with a high walk rate, he has something to offer Fantasy owners. However, with Joe Saunders re-signing, it appears Miley will open the year at Triple-A. He could be a potential call-up in 2012, but Miley is more of a long-term Fantasy keeper. (Updated 1/18/12)
