Miles spent seven years (1966–1972) in professional baseball, all of them in the Washington/Texas Rangers organization. His MLB stints consisted of a three-game, late-season callup to Washington in 1968, then ten games during the following year. In his only start, on August 13, 1969, against the Kansas City Royals at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, Miles lasted only two-plus innings, allowing three hits, three bases on balls, and five earned runs, and was tagged with the loss as Kansas City won, 7–3.[2] It was Miles' only MLB decision. Overall, he permitted 27 hits and 17 walks in 242⁄3 innings pitched, with 20 strikeouts, in his big-league career.
