ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Arizona Diamondbacks got off to a strong start and Wade Miley made sure their early lead stood up. Miley pitched two-hit ball into the seventh inning and Eric Chavez drove in three runs, leading the Diamondbacks to a 7-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Paul Goldschmidt hit his 24th homer, scored three runs and reached base four times. Cody Ross had three straight hits and drove in two runs as Arizona broke a three-game losing streak. It was Arizonas largest shutout win on the road since an 11-0 victory at San Francisco on Aug. 27, 2009. "Its just refreshing for us," Chavez said. "We were struggling offensively, so it was really good to get off to a good start like that." Hits by Martin Prado, Aaron Hill and Ross had produced two runs in the first inning. The stage was set when Hill barely beat out an infield single to load the bases, keeping the inning alive for Ross two-run single. "The way the game began took a little bit out of us and we never really recovered," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "We scored two in the first inning, two more in the third. Thats huge," Miley said. "You get some support and you just want to go out and get the offence back in the box as soon as possible." Arizona outhit the Rays 14-3. Every Diamondbacks starter except Cliff Pennington had at least one hit. Ben Zobrist got two hits for Tampa Bay, which despite the loss finished its best month ever at 21-5. "I really cant get too upset," Maddon said. "Its been a pretty good July, one of the funnest Julys Ive ever participated in. They outplayed us tonight." Miley (8-8) won for the fourth time in five starts. He struck out eight in 6 1-3 innings and walked five. Miley has made 11 straight starts of giving up three earned runs or fewer. "He had good stuff. He knows how to pitch," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said after the Diamondbacks seventh shutout of the season. "He got into some situations and got himself out of those, made good pitches. "He goes through times when he kind of gets out of it a little bit, but hes a guy that always seems to regain it and find it. Hes got a good run for us now. He gave us a big performance tonight. It was a good win." Jeremy Hellickson (10-4) gave up four runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings, the shortest Rays start since Alex Colome also went 4 1-3 innings on June 22. Arizona added single runs in the seventh, eighth and ninth against three different relievers. Miley descried his outing as "kind of erratic. Id get ahead of a couple of guys, get behind a couple of guys, but I was able to make a pretty good pitch when I needed to, so it kind of got me out of some jams. And once again, Wil (Nieves) did a great job of knowing when to go to pitches and just kind of feel me out and stick with me the whole game. The defence played good. We scored a bunch of runs." His biggest complaint was the baseballs. "They didnt really feel rubbed up too well, so I kind of changed the grip a little bit on my sinker, just to get a feel for it," he said. "It was just slipping a little bit. It just felt like a brand new baseball, but youve got to deal with that sometimes."

Ashwin, 30, had a modest first Test against England by his own stellar standards - match figures of 3-230 little reward for 69.3 overs of toil on an easy-paced Rajkot surface.The 30-year-old changed his action in the second innings and, in an interview you can see in full on Sky Sports during the second Test on Thursday, explained that innovation is one of the secrets of a career that so far has yielded 21 five-wicket hauls. England rallied strongly in Rajkot after their Dhaka debacle so what can we expect in Vizag? Im really hungry in terms of how much I want to achieve as a cricketer, said Ashwin, who has taken 223 Test scalps in 40 Tests.Its not about any specific number; if I get on a bit of a roll, then I dont really want to settle for anything; I just want to keep going and going and going.The wicket [in Rajkot] was easy pace and I wanted to create some sort of pace into my action, so I tried to be a little slingy and load it up differently. India vs England November 17, 2016, 3:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Ive done a lot of those actions in the past so its not something that Im really worried about; I dont think about losing on anything when Im trying something because I believe that if you keep on trying, then you start getting better as a cricketer.It is a Test match but unless you do it in the middle under prressure you never know whats going to be beneficial for you.dddddddddddd Six months half price Upgrade to Sky Sports to watch Man Utd v Arsenal on Saturday and get the first six months half price There have been instances in the past when I have seen a lot of cricketers try so many things in the nets but dont quite have the stomach to do it in the middle.Im the other way around. Id much rather try it in a game than in the nets because thats where you are under pressure. All great men do it when it matters rather than when it doesnt. Ashwin cuts on the fourth day of the first Test In addition to his role of talismanic spinner, Ashwin has recently added the role of number six to his duties and is thriving in the position - scoring 70 and 32 in the first Test.As far as Im concerned, I love to be in the middle of the action, he said. I am also one of those persons who likes to win games for the team, rather than being at the back door trying to pick up a couple of wickets.Personally, I have been craving to bat up the order for the last two or three years and the opportunity presented itself to me in the last three months and I think Ive taken it with both hands.To hear more from Ashwin, check out the full interview during the second Test on Sky Sports, including…- what its like to have Anil Kumble as coach and how the pair worked together during the first Test- the major differences between being captained at Test level by former skipper MS Dhoni and current captain Virat Kohli Test Cricket: The Verdict November 17, 2016, 3:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass - How the team responded to the draw in Rajkot and how he assesses his own performance in the drawn TestWatch the second Test between India and England live on Sky Sports 2 from 3.30am on Thursday or follow over-by-over commentary, including in-play video clips of all the key moments, on our live blog across selected digital platforms.
