Shelby Miller tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings in the Cardinals' 4-2 win over the Mets on Wednesday.
Miller needed 96 pitches to get through those five-plus frames and was left with a no-decision, but all in all it was another dominant outing from the 22-year-old. He held the Mets to four hits and one walk while striking out six and now boasts a 1.40 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 57/12 K/BB ratio in 51 1/3 innings this season. The talented young right-hander will try to keep it rolling next week in San Diego. May 15 - 11:37 PM

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller completely shut down the Rockies on Friday, striking out 13 batters in a one-hit shutout as part of a 3-0 win.

Miller allowed a broken-bat single to Eric Young, Jr. to begin the ballgame, but he sat down the next 27 batters he faced. It doesn't get much better than that. The rookie right-hander hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his seven starts this season and holds a dominant 1.58 ERA and 51/11 K/BB ratio over 45 2/3 innings. It hasn't taken him long to emerge as a potential fantasy ace.

Shelby Miller spun six innings of one-run ball Friday in a 6-1 win over the Brewers.

Miller scattered seven hits (all singles) and one walk while striking out five batters. The lone run scored on a sacrifice fly in his final inning of work. The rookie right-hander now owns a shiny 1.96 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 38/11 K/BB ratio in 36 2/3 innings across his first six starts this season. He has all the makings of a future front-line starter.

Shelby Miller gave up three earned runs over 5 2/3 innings Sunday as the Cardinals fell to the Pirates.

It was the first truly shaky start of Miller's career and yet he managed to tally seven strikeouts. The 22-year-old right-hander still owns a fantastic 2.05 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 33/10 K/BB ratio in 30 2/3 innings this season and should bounce back next time out in Milwaukee.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings and struck out eight in a victory over the Nationals on Monday.

Give Miller credit, but the truth is that the Nationals aren't hitting anyone right now. Miller has struck out at least a batter an inning in three straight starts and is now 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA for the season. His command figures to come and go, but it's possible he'll have lasting value in mixed leagues.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller allowed two earned runs over six innings Wednesday in the Cardinals' loss to the Pirates.

Miller had a rough first inning and a shaky sixth inning but was otherwise excellent. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out six batters and walked two, throwing 69 of his 98 pitches for strikes. He now boasts a 1.96 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 18/5 K/BB ratio in 18 1/3 innings this season. The Nationals will provide a nice test for the youngster next week.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller delivered an outstanding performance in Friday’s victory over the Brewers, allowing just one hit over seven scoreless innings.

Miller racked up eight strikeouts on the night without walking a batter. Norichika Aoki’s single to lead off the game and an Alex Gonzalez hit by pitch in the second were the only baserunners Miller would allow. He’ll carry a stellar 2-0 record, 1.46 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 12/4 K/BB ratio into Wednesday’s start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings as the Cardinals defeated the Giants 6-3 on Saturday.

It was only the second major league start for the 22-year-old. It wasn't always pretty, as Miller allowed a home run and walked four batters in the game. But he also struck out four and pitched around danger well enough to get his second win as a big league pitcher. His next start will likely be Friday against the Brewers in St. Louis. The Cardinals are hoping for big things from the right-hander in the near future.

The Cardinals have named Shelby Miller as their fifth starter.

Miller beat out Joe Kelly, who is expected to pitch out of the bullpen. The 22-year-old gave up one run over 4 1/3 innings Monday against the Twins and owns a 3.94 ERA and 13/5 K/BB ratio over 16 innings this spring. He is well worth grabbing in the late rounds of mixed league drafts.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes that it "appears" Shelby Miller has the lead over Joe Kelly for the fifth spot in the Cardinals' rotation.

Manager Mike Matheny has not confirmed anything, but he appeared to tip his hand by naming Miller Monday's starter ahead of Kelly and then saying that the competition was "getting a little more obvious." It's music to the ears of fantasy owners, as Miller offers much more upside than Kelly. The young righty has a 4.63 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 11 strikeouts over 11 2/3 innings this spring. Kelly will begin the year in the bullpen if he does indeed lose the competition.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller blanked the Marlins for four innings Tuesday in the Cardinals' 5-4 victory.

It was the best-case scenario for Miller; not only did he pitch well, but Joe Kelly got roughed up after coming out of the pen. Miller now has the better ERA of the two, though it's a pretty meaningless margin (4.63 to 4.91). If the Cardinals do decide to keep Miller as their fifth starter, he'll be worth a flier in mixed leagues.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Shelby Miller will start for the Cardinals Tuesday, with Joe Kelly following him in relief.

The order was the opposite last Thursday in what was supposed to be a final audition for the club's No. 5 starter spot. Clearly, though, the team isn't ready to name a winner just yet. Kelly is perceived to have a slight edge on Miller at this point, but the spot is still up for grabs.

Shelby Miller was outpitched by Joe Kelly on Thursday, giving up three runs and six hits in 2 2/3 innings out of the pen.

Expectations were that Kelly was going to be the Cardinals' fifth starter anyway, but this probably seals it. Miller is still a good bet to have some fantasy value later this season.

Shelby Miller - S - Cardinals

Cardinals pitching coach Derek Lilliquist said Monday that the final audition for the fifth spot in the starting rotation will come Thursday.

Trevor Rosenthal has already moved back to the bullpen, so the decision will come down to either Shelby Miller or Joe Kelly. Both are slated to pitch Thursday, with Kelly making the start, though the order isn't necessarily an indication of where they are leaning. The Cardinals are making the decision now so that the winner can get three starts in preparation for the regular season. Miller is naturally more appealing from a fantasy perspective, but the Cards could opt to give him some more time in the minors.

Shelby Miller picked up a win after allowing two runs in three innings Friday against the Nationals.

The highlight was his 11-pitch strikeout of Bryce Harper on a 95-mph fastball in the first. Unfortunately, it proved to be his only strikeout. Miller appears to be behind Joe Kelly in the competition to open the season as the Cardinals' fifth starter.
