Miller touched up early as D-backs fall

Miller continued to struggle, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks in five innings. The right-hander fell to 1-6 on the year and saw his ERA climb to 7.09. Most of the damage came on two hits: Polanco's three-run homer in the first inning and shortstop Jordy Mercer's two-run double to center in the third.
