In Wild Game, Shelby Miller Joins Notable Group Of Pitchers In Outfield

Extra innings acquaints a man with strange bedfellows, as noted baseball fan William Shakespeare once wrote. Sunday's 13-inning, five-hour-and-25-minute marathon between the Diamondbacks and Pirates—won by Pittsburgh 12–10—had plenty of that, capped by Shelby Miller's first professional foray into the outfield. Though he's hardly the first pitcher in recent memory to be pressed into outfield duty (the Rockies' Jason Gurka played an inning there on Sept. 15), he has nonetheless joined a notable fraternity.
