Days before, the Brewers had announced that Miley, a left-handed pitcher, would start the game, and he participated in the customary news conference. Milwaukee Brewers starter Wade Miley, right, was pulled from the game by manger Craig Counsell after facing one batter in the first inning against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Throughout the regular season, the Brewers followed a modern baseball tenet of preventing some starting pitchers from facing an opposing lineup three times in a game. Perhaps one silver lining in the Brewers’ loss was that their best relief pitchers, Knebel and Hader, were not used. Although he agreed with the misdirection in the previous game, he said he was ready to toss nine innings this time.
