Bryce Miller might be more eager for his second start in the major leagues than he was for his first.
On Sunday afternoon, the Seattle Mariners' right-hander is scheduled to make his home debut against the defending World Series champion Houston Astros, the team the Texas native grew up watching.He retired the first 16 batters he faced and allowed one run on two hits in six innings. He struck out 10 and didn't issue a base on balls, becoming just the third pitcher in MLB history with double-digit strikeouts and no walks in his debut, joining Johnny Cueto and Stephen Strasburg .
"The fastball is just unique," Mariners pitching coach Pete Woodworth said. "It's heavy, and it can just dominate guys. And that's what he did." "It started with the walk, two-out walk, a couple infield hits. And it started just like a feeding frenzy," Astros manager Dusty Baker said. "Yeah, that was tough. Tough to take."
