Struggles with control holding Miley back

TORONTO -- Wade Miley continued to struggle with deep counts and long innings on Wednesday in Toronto, and while he hasn't totally fixed those issues yet, he's at least pinpointed them.

"I've got to find a way to get the fastball over the plate early," Miley said after Baltimore's 4-0 loss to Toronto. "I've got to stop relying on 3-2 sliders, 2-0 sliders, anytime I need a strike, a slider. I mean, that gets around the league pretty quick."

The left-hander now leads Major League Baseball with 19 1/3 pitches per inning and hasn't pitched a full six innings in any of his last five starts.
