Mikolas (4-3) allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four in five innings, earning the win over the Cubs on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas wasn't at his best, but the Cardinals' lively offense propped him up well. He's allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over his last 23.1 innings in four starts after starting the year without allowing more than two runs in any of his first seven outings. Overall, he's at a 3.02 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 51:15 K:BB across 65.2 innings. Mikolas is projected for a road start versus the Rays next week.

Mikolas (3-3) took the loss Sunday versus the Brewers. He allowed six runs on nine hits and a walk with six strikeouts in 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas allowed two home runs, a three-run blast by Jace Peterson in the fifth inning and a solo shot to Rowdy Tellez in the sixth. This was just the second time in 10 starts Mikolas has given up multiple long balls. Sunday was the worst start of what's otherwise been an encouraging year for the 33-year-old right-hander. He has a 2.67 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB in 60.2 innings. He's projected to make a road start against the Cubs next week.

Mikolas didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 7-3 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on four hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander battled Jose Berrios to a 1-1 draw through six innings before each pitcher ran into trouble in the seventh, setting the stage for some 10th-inning heroics by Paul Goldschmidt. Mikolas has delivered three straight quality starts and six on the season in nine trips to the mound, fueling a dazzling 1.96 ERA and 0.98 WHIP along with a 44:11 K:BB through 55 innings.

Mikolas (3-2) took the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander didn't pitch badly and pounded the strike zone as per usual, but the Cardinals didn't score their only run of the game until the eighth inning, hanging Mikolas out to dry. He tossed 106 pitches (84 strikes) in his fifth quality start of the season, and he'll carry a stellar 1.68 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB through 48.1 innings into his next outing.

Mikolas will draw the start in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Mets, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Monday's game got postponed, Mikolas will be on the mound for the front end of the Cardinals' doubleheader Tuesday. The right-hander has been elite this season, posting a 1.49 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 42.1 innings in seven starts.

Mikolas and the Cardinals won't play Monday against the Mets after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas was slated to serve as the starting pitcher during Monday's series opener, but he'll have to wait at least one more day to take the mound. The Cardinals haven't yet announced their updated pitching plans, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Mikolas take the mound in one of the two games during Tuesday's doubleheader.

Mikolas (3-1) earned the win over Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

St. Louis built a seven-run lead by the end of the fourth inning, allowing Mikolas to go get into cruise control and pitch with little stress. The right-hander completed seven innings for the third time in his past four starts and yielded only one run for his second straight outing. Mikolas hasn't given up more than two earned runs in any of his seven appearances this season, leading to a sparkling 1.49 ERA through 42.1 frames. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is expected to come on the road against the Mets early next week.

Mikolas (2-1) allowed one run on seven hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against San Francisco on Thursday to earn the win. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander allowed plenty of traffic on the basepaths, but only one of the hits against him went for extra bases, and he got help from his bullpen to escape a bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning and remain in line for the win. Mikolas mostly pitched to contact -- he registered only five swinging strikes and three punchouts -- but was able to extend his streak of starts with two or fewer runs allowed to six games to begin the season. He has posted a 1.53 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 35.1 innings thus far, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next projected start, which lines up to come against Baltimore at home next week.

Mikolas (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on four hits in 7.1 innings of work, striking out seven while walking none.

EDGE Analysis

In a matchup between two veteran righties who jump-started their career with moves overseas, Mikolas and Merrill Kelly pitched to a scoreless tie through seven innings. While that was the end of Kelly's day, Mikolas remained in the game for the eighth inning and probably shouldn't have, as he gave up solo shots to Ketel Marte and Nick Ahmed. Despite the poor finish, it was on the whole another strong outing for Mikolas, who owns a 1.52 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through five starts. He'll face the Giants in San Francisco next Thursday.

Mikolas didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, giving up four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander baffled New York hitters and generated plenty of weak contact, tossing 63 of 95 pitches for strikes before hitting the showers in line for his second win of the season. Unfortunately, Giovanny Gallegos blew his first save of the season in the ninth. Mikolas appears to have re-discovered his 2018 form, posting a 1.21 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 22.1 innings, and the key to his success so far has been the fact that he has yet to serve up a homer after giving up 33 of them (1.30 HR/9) over his last two seasons.
