ATLANTA— Shelby Miller has thrown other shutouts, but never one as efficient. Miller tossed the third shutout of his career, Freddie Freeman and Kelly Johnson hit homers to spoil Chad Billingsley's first start in more than two years, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-0 on Tuesday night. Miller (4-1) needed only 99 pitches as he allowed only three hits with one walk with eight strikeouts.
