In the 2020 offseason, the Cincinnati Reds didn’t technically need another starting pitcher. The Reds already had top-line talent, depth and rising potential starters in the Minor Leagues.
They still signed Wade Miley. Nineteen months later, where would the Reds be without him? On Friday at American Family Field, the Reds beat the Brewers, 2-0.
It was the Wade Miley show.
In the top of the seventh, Miley smoked a double down the right field line. Then when the Brewers made a throwing error relaying the ball to the infield, Miley sprinted to third to advance on the play.
