He really has.
He could’ve fallen apart with such a big lead, but he pitched his usual game. That’s another good sign of his poise.

OPS too
If I did my math right, Wells now at .490, Miles came in a .488.
That means 4 Cubs pitchers (Wells, Harden, Marshall, and Z) have higher OPS than Miles

It's not over yet.
Two touchdowns, an XP, and a 2-point conversion, and the Pirates could be back in this thing.
