Mikolas (5-6) picked up the win Thursday against Washington, allowing two hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 5.2 scoreless innings

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas got back on track after a pair of awful starts, during which he combined to give up 14 runs and eight homers across 10 innings. Thursday's victory was his first in eight outings and snapped a streak of six consecutive appearances allowing a homer. It's a step in the right direction for the 36-year-old as he looks to find his early-season form. Mikolas posted a 3.51 ERA across 51.1 innings during his first 10 starts. His ERA has increased to 4.94 since then.

Mikolas (4-6) took the loss against the Cubs on Friday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas surrendered a staggering six home runs over the first three innings but did manage to complete six frames. The 36-year-old has now allowed at least one long ball in six consecutive outings, a stretch that includes two quality starts but also three in which he's given up six or more earned runs. He'll take a 5.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB across 87.1 innings into a home matchup with the Nationals next week.

Mikolas allowed six runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five batters over four innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas looked great through three scoreless frames, retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced. Things completely fell apart for him in the fourth, however, as the Guardians tagged him for six hits -- including two homers, two doubles and a triple -- to score six runs. Though he was allowed to finish that inning, Mikolas didn't return for the fifth, marking just the fourth time he's failed to complete at least five innings through 16 starts this season. The right-hander also gave up six or more earned runs for the third time, pushing his ERA up to a mediocre 4.76 across 81.1 frames.

Mikolas (4-5) yielded three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out six and taking the loss against Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas served up a home run to Matt McLain in the first inning but kept the Reds in check until they plated a pair of runs in the fifth. It was Mikolas' third consecutive loss, and he hasn't earned a win since May 23. He tossed 61 of 97 pitches for strikes and dropped his season ERA to 4.31 through 77.1 innings. Mikolas has produced a 3.50 ERA over his last 13 outings after he was crushed for nine runs (eight earned) in Boston on April 6. He's projected to start in Cleveland next weekend.

Mikolas (4-4) took the loss in Sunday's contest at Milwaukee. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings with seven strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

After conceding 13 earned runs in 15 innings across his last three starts, the St. Louis right-hander bounced back in this performance to tally his fifth quality start of the season. The Milwaukee lineup did all of their damage against Mikolas in the fourth inning when Christian Yelich popped a solo homer and Drew Avans hit a sacrifice fly. Mikolas now sports a 4.35 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 72.1 total frames. The 36-year-old is projected to make his next start at home against the Reds next weekend.

Mikolas (4-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Blue Jays after giving up six runs on nine hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas conceded his most runs since surrendering a whopping eight in his second start of the season. The veteran right-hander also tied his second-most hits allowed in 2025, and it was already the sixth time this year he fanned two or fewer. Mikolas holds a lackluster 4.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB across 66.1 innings ahead of his next scheduled matchup against the Brewers, who do own a weak .642 OPS against righties since the start of May.

Mikolas allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings in a no-decision in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas was pushed back a day after Wednesday's game was postponed due to weather. He's earned a quality start in three of his last four outings, though he didn't get any run support during his time on the mound Thursday. He also allowed a home run for the fourth time in six starts, though Mikolas has generally found success by keeping the ball down this year. The 36-year-old right-hander is now at a 3.96 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB through 61.1 innings over 12 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start during a home series versus the Blue Jays.

Mikolas and the Cardinals won't face the Royals on Wednesday, as the game was postponed due to rain, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday, and Mikolas will likely take the mound at some point during the twin bill. The veteran right-hander has already made a start against the Royals this season, during which he twirled six shutout innings while giving up just two hits and two walks while striking out four batters on May 17.

Mikolas did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Orioles, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas allowed three runs in the third inning and was pulled at 72 pitches after allowing another run in the fourth. Wednesday marked his shortest outing since April 6 and snapped a solid run of eight consecutive starts yielding three earned runs or fewer. The veteran owns a 3.90 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB across 55.1 innings while exceeding 80 pitches in just five of 11 starts this season. He's slated for a home matchup with the Royals next week.

Mikolas (4-2) notched the win Friday against the Diamondbacks after allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

It was the third time this season that Mikolas hurled six innings, and he's given up one run or fewer in each of these instances. Additionally, the veteran right-hander has conceded greater than three runs on just one occasion in 2025, albeit during a nine-run implosion in his second start of the year that left a huge mark on his ratios. His lack of strikeout stuff will likely continue to limit his overall fantasy potential, but Mikolas still owns a quality 3.51 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB ahead of his next scheduled outing against the Orioles.
