EDGE Analysis

The right-hander shut out Cincinnati for six innings before hitting the wall in the seventh, with Josh VanMeter's first big-league homer being the big blow off Mikolas. He still delivered his 11th quality start of the season, and Mikolas will carry a 4.17 ERA and 82:19 K:BB through 114.1 innings into his next start Thursday in Pittsburgh.
