Mikolas (8-9) took the loss Tuesday versus the Rockies, allowing 10 runs on 14 hits while striking out two in 2.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
For context, Mikolas had allowed 11 runs in his previous 18.1 innings across three starts, and that was one of his less impressive parts of the year. The 33-year-old right-hander will probably want to forget this one as fast as possible, as his ERA spiked from 2.92 to 3.50 after the horrid start. He's also posted a 1.09 WHIP and 108:27 K:BB through 141.1 innings across 23 starts. Mikolas will look to get back on track in a key divisional matchup versus the Brewers this weekend.

Mikolas took a no-decision in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cubs. He allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk with six strikeouts in 6.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas had an extra day of rest after Wednesday's rainout, though he only produced middling results. The Cardinals' seventh-inning rally got him off the hook for the loss. He's turned in quality starts in five of his last six outings, and the veteran right-hander owns a 2.92 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 106:27 K:BB through 138.2 innings across 22 starts overall. Mikolas is tentatively set for a tough road start in Colorado his next time out.

Mikolas won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Cubs since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The game will be made up via a doubleheader Thursday, and Mikolas figures to start one of those contests. The right-hander surrendered six runs in his first outing after the All-Star break, but he bounced back with two runs allowed across seven innings during his last start.

Mikolas (8-8) allowed to runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings Friday, striking out four and earning a win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Both runs against Mikolas on Friday came via sacrifice flys. It was a strong bounceback after he was tagged with six runs by the Reds in his last outing. Mikolas lowered his season ERA to 2.86, including a 3.58 ERA in six July appearances. He'll carry a 100:26 K:BB into his projected home start against the Cubs next week.

Mikolas (7-8) took the loss Sunday in Cincinnati, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
All six runs against Mikolas came in the third and fourth innings. He allowed singles to three of the first four batters and, following a sacrifice fly, Joey Votto tagged him for a three-run, two-out blast in the third. In the next frame, a walk and two singles led to two more runs. It was the first time Mikolas allowed more than three earned runs in a start since June 3. He's now given up six homers in his last 30.2 innings. His next start will likely be next weekend in Washington.

Mikolas (7-7) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over seven innings against the Reds. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Jonathan India tagged Mikolas for a leadoff homer to begin the game, but that would end up being the only blemish on Mikolas' line. With three consecutive quality starts to close the first half, Mikolas now sits with a 2.54 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 92:23 K:BB over 120.1 innings this season. An All-Star in 2018, Mikolas did not quite make the cut in 2022.

Mikolas (6-7) picked up the win in Monday's 6-1 victory over the Phillies, allowing one run on six hits over 7.1 innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander served up a solo shot to Rhys Hoskins in the first inning but was in full control after that, tossing an efficient 99 pitches (62 strikes) before exiting. Mikolas has delivered six quality starts in his last seven outings, posting a 2.08 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB through 47.2 innings over that impressive stretch, but a lack of consistent run support has left him with a 2-4 record during that time.

Mikolas (5-7) took the loss to Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out four and walking one over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas pitched well in Wednesday's game, throwing 59 of 92 pitches for strikes while picking up four strikeouts and allowing just one walk in the game. He did not get any offensive support though, and he picked up the loss, his seventh of the year. Mikolas did earn a quality start in the outing, his 11th this season. The righty will take a 2.72 ERA into his next outing.

Mikolas (5-6) took the loss Friday as the Cardinals were downed 5-3 by the Phillies, giving up four runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Most of the damage off Mikolas came in the fifth inning after a Nolan Arenado error sparked a rally for Philadelphia. The right-hander saw his quality start streak end at four, but Mikolas still sports an impressive 2.61 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 79:21 K:BB through 100 innings on the year.

Mikolas gave up one earned run on four hits and a walk over six innings in a 5-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday. He struck out nine and did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas has now strung together four consecutive quality starts dating back to June 9, giving up only five earned runs over 29 innings of work during the stretch. He dominated the Cubs with a vicious 12-6 curveball and racked up nine strikeouts to match a season high. The 33-year-old veteran has a 14.5% K-BB%, which matches his season-long total from 2018, when he was an All-Star before missing significant time due to injury. He is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Friday at Philadelphia.
