Mikolas did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out three.
Mikolas held the Brewers in check, allowing merely one walk after the first inning during one of his most effective outings of the season. He entered Thursday's contest having allowed 25 runs in 31 innings (7.26 ERA) over his last six starts but kept the Brewers off the board in posting his first quality start since July 8. While Mikolas rewarded the Cardinals with a solid effort, his teammates failed to return the favor, waiting until after he was removed from the game to put the winning runs on the board. He'll look to continue this momentum into his next scheduled start, slated to take place at home in a tough matchup against the Padres.
