He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 6 hits and 1 run, while striking out 3 and walking 0. The loss makes Melbourne 52-66.

Early in the game, Millar had a 2-run double for Geelong. It was his 15th double of the season and put the Cats on top, 3-1.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Geelong manager Stacy Shaikin.
