ATLANTA - After losing his no-hit bid in the eighth inning, Shelby Miller's winless streak now sits at 16 games and extends over three months.
No matter. Miller still beamed after the game like a 20-game winner.
Cameron Maybin led off the 10th inning with a home run, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Miller, an NL All-Star last month, is only 5-9 despite ranking among the league leaders with his 2.43 ERA. He hasn't won since May 17 at Miami. The winless streak is Atlanta's longest since Jo-Jo Reyes went 18 games without a win in 2009.
It was Miller's 10th start in which he didn't win despite allowing no more than one run - the most in the majors. Instead of criticizing the lack of offense, he praised the fielders who helped extend the no-hit bid.
"I tip my cap to the defense," Miller said. "We had a ton of great plays that kept the no-hitter going through the seventh. It was a fun day for all of us."
Michael Bourn, acquired from Cleveland earlier this month, made a diving catch on David Peralta's drive in foul territory down the left field line in the first. The catch helped Miller survive walks to Ender Inciarte and Aaron Hill to open the game.
"That play is one of the best catches I've seen ever playing baseball," Miller said. "Guys were diving all over the place for us. That's how this team is. Obviously we're not where we want to be in the division, but this team is still playing its heart out."
Leading 1-0, Miller's no-hit try ended when Nick Ahmed led off the eighth with a bloop single to right field. Pinch-hitter Jarod Saltalamacchia followed with another single that finished Miller, and Arizona soon tied it at 1.
Miller, who struck out 10, has a 3.03 ERA and eight losses during his drought. He had four walks.
Maybin opened with the 10th with a drive over the left field wall on a 1-2 pitch off David Hernandez (0-3).
"I felt like I made a pretty good pitch," Hernandez said. "He just made a better swing and hit it well."
Maybin said he wasn't aiming for the fence. "I was just trying to put the ball in play," he said.
David Aardsma (1-1) struck out the side in the top of the 10th.
Atlanta had runners on first and second with two outs in the ninth when center fielder Inciarte made a leaping catch of Bourn's drive to the right-center gap to send the game to extra innings.
Inciarte drove in the tying run in the eighth with a grounder off Ross Detwiler.
