It's no different than if he stuck his foot out and tripped Cano, if Cano had been trying to run to first to tag the bag himself.

OK. I'm just saying that when you're going to second, you're allowed to intentionally mess with the fielder -- sliding wide of the bag, rolling, etc. -- in a way that you're not when you're going to first. Not having seen the play, I'm willing to accept that Millar went too far.
