Mikolas allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits with one walk and four strikeouts across five innings during a no-decision against the Pirates on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates offense tacked on two runs against the Cardinals bullpen and appeared poised to break their seven-game losing streak and give Mikolas his 13th loss. Instead, the Cardinals rallied in the seventh and eighth with Mikolas taking a no-decision. But he still allowed multiple home runs for the first time since May 24, and his ERA rose back above 4.00. Mikolas, who will pitch next at the Reds on Friday, is 7-12 with a 4.13 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 101 strikeouts in 137.1 innings this season.

Mikolas will make his next start Sunday against the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals have a scheduled off day Thursday, allowing them to skip Michael Wacha in the rotation and have Mikolas pitch Sunday on normal rest. The 31-year-old has come out of the All-Star break pitching well with a 2.18 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB in five starts.

Mikolas (7-12) took the loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk in 6.1 innings while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas was matched up against three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw and was narrowly outpitched, leading to his 12th loss. He yielded only a pair of runs -- none after the third inning -- to pick up his 13th quality start of the season and fourth in his last five outings. Despite a 2-3 record over that five-game span, Mikolas has pitched well, compiling a 2.18 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. He'll try to get back into the win column when he heads to Kansas City on Tuesday to take on the Royals in his next scheduled start.

Mikolas (7-11) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Cubs after allowing one run (unearned) on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas held the Cubs scoreless until the sixth inning, when Kris Bryant reach on a fielding error by Tommy Edman and then scored on an RBI single by Ian Happ. Despite the tough-luck loss, the right-hander lowered his home ERA to 1.98 and is now 2-2 since the All-Star break. Through 22 starts this season, Mikolas owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 90:21 K:BB. The 30-year-old will gear up for a challenging road start at Dodger Stadium on Monday.

Mikolas (7-10) allowed three runs on five hits with one walk and five strikeouts across six innings while earning a victory against the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Mikolas' third straight quality start, and during this stretch, he's gone 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA. This has been a nice response since yielding seven runs in 10 frames just prior to the All-Star break. Overall, Mikolas owns a 4.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 87 strikeouts in 120.1 innings this season. He will pitch next at home against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Mikolas (6-10) took the loss Saturday as the Cardinals were downed 3-2 by the Reds, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six-plus innings while striking out four.

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.

Mikolas (6-9) threw a complete-game shutout against the Pirates on Monday, giving up eight hits, striking out three and walking none in the Cardinals' 7-0 victory.

EDGE Analysis

It's been an erratic season overall for the right-hander, but he was lights-out in this contest, as he demonstrated excellent control in hurling 73 of his 100 pitches for strikes. The stellar performance lowers his ERA from 4.53 to 4.15 through 108.1 innings, to go along with a 1.23 WHIP and a 78:17 K:BB. He'll try to keep it rolling in his next start, which will see him take on the Reds in a Saturday road matchup.

Mikolas will start Monday's game against the Pirates, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas was originally scheduled to start Sunday's series finale versus the Diamondbacks, but Adam Wainwright (back) will re-enter the rotation after being scratched Friday. Mikolas finished the first half with an underwhelming 4.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 75:17 K:BB over 99.1 innings.

Mikolas (5-9) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits over four innings while striking out six as the Cardinals dropped an 8-4 decision to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

A pinch-hit grand slam by Austin Slater in the fourth inning was the decisive blow, and with Mikolas due up second the next inning and the Cards in a 5-1 hole, his night ended after only 72 pitches (48 strikes). The right-hander will take a 4.53 ERA and 75:17 K:BB through 99.1 innings into the All-Star break.

Mikolas did not factor into the decision against the Padres on Sunday, completing six innings and giving up three runs on eight hits while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas fell behind after serving up a two-run home run to Manny Machado in the first inning but settled down to keep the Cardinals in the game until he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. As usual, he did not blow away many batters -- this was his fifth consecutive start in which he struck out exactly four -- but was able to limit the damage against him by giving up only one two extra-base hits and not issuing any walks. The 30-year-old has been mildly disappointing this season, compiling a 4.34 ERA and 1.25 WHIP through 17 starts. He'll head to San Francisco to take on the Giants on Saturday in his next scheduled start.
