Milone (2-1) threw seven strong innings in a no-decision at Texas on Friday, allowing two runs on just three hits and one walk, while striking out eight. Friday's start marks just the second time in six tries this season that Milone pitched past the sixth inning. The eight strikeouts were a pleasant surprise for a pitcher who came into the game with a paltry 4.23 K/9, and owners can only hope Milone keeps the good times rolling against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
