He has a 3.38ERA and a 3.20FIP in 27 appearances, per Baseball Reference, and his struggles have mirrored Cleveland's bullpen problems.Indians relievers are 28th in FIP (4.76), according to FanGraphs.A hamstring strain landed Miller on the 10-day disabled list in April. He returned May 11 and gave up a go-ahead two-run home run to Salvador Perez in a 10-9 defeat to the Kansas City Royals.The Indians again placed Miller on the DL later that month after he surrendered three earned runs in an 11-2 defeat to the Houston Astros on May 25.Miller was pivotal in helping Cleveland win back-to-back AL Central titles, and the team's late-inning struggles have highlightedhis importance to the bullpen.Even though Cleveland added Brad Hand and Adam Cimber ahead of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, losing Miller for another extended stretch would be a big blow. OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Unable to land a starter at the trade deadline, the Oakland Athletics got a big lift from one they already had and gave manager Bob Melvin a milestone victory.They also moved one game closer to Seattle in the race for the AL wild card.Trevor Cahill had six strikeouts in six innings, Khris Davis homered among his three hits http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-jeff-locke-jersey , and the Aâs beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 on Tuesday night.Cahill (3-2) overcame an uneven night and allowed two runs on five hits. The right-hander has won consecutive starts for the first time since May 2017.âEarly on Iâm not sure his command was as good as it normally is but he got better and better as he went along,â Melvin said. âNext thing you know he gives us six innings, and six innings makes it a lot easier on us.âCahill yielded a two-out RBI single to Kendrys Morales in the first and Justin Smoakâs leadoff homer in the fourth but got a pair of double plays while giving Oaklandâs bullpen a break.âJust finding a groove,â Cahill said. âYou never know what your stuffâs going to be like and you just try to make adjustments. I was able do that a little bit going deeper into the game.âYusmeiro Petit, Jeurys Familia and Blake Treinen retired three batters apiece to complete the six-hitter.Matt Olson had two RBIs, Mark Canha doubled twice and stole home and Marcus Semien added two hits.Melvin celebrated his 600th win as manager of the Aâs â tied for third-most in franchise history behind Connie Mack (3,582) and Tony LaRussa (798).âOne more than 599,â Melvin said.Oakland moved within one game of Seattle for the second wild card. The Aâs are 29-10 since June 16, the best record in baseball.Despite being in the thick of a playoff race Cameron Maybin Jersey , Oakland stayed quiet as the trade deadline passed. There were reports early in the day linking the Aâs to a trade with Detroit but nothing materialized.That was fine with Cahill.âIt might not be the big-name guys or the big-price guys like some other teams have but with our offense and our bullpen, if we all just do our part weâll be fine,â he said.Justin Smoak homered for Toronto, which has lost six of eight.Olsonâs two-run single off Sam Gaviglio (2-4) in the first put the Aâs up 2-1.â(Gaviglio) was off,â Toronto manager John Gibbons said. âHeâs a control guy and when heâs not throwing strikes, pin-pointing it, heâs going to get hit around a little bit. Weâve seem that before.âAfter Davis hit his 29th homer leading off the third, Canha and Semien pulled off a double steal with Canha sliding into home to beat the throw from second baseman Devon Travis.TULO HOPING TO PLAYToronto shortstop Troy Tulowitzki made a rare appearance with the team in Oakland and said he still hopes to play this season. Tulowitzki underwent surgery on both of his heels in the offseason and has been rehabbing since then. âIâm doing better, just not 100 percent yet Lewis Brinson Jersey ,â Tulowitzki said. âThereâs good days, thereâs bad days.âTRAINERâS ROOMBlue Jays: 2B Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will be sidelined indefinitely after being diagnosed with a left high ankle sprain and bruised knee. Gurriel has a franchise record 11 consecutive multi-hit games. . Newly acquired reliever Ken Giles isnât expected to join the team until Thursday in Seattle.Athletics: RHP Daniel Gossett will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday, making him the fourth Oakland pitcher to have the reconstructive surgery this year.
