Mikolas (4-4) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings as the Cardinals fell 6-1 to the Mets. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Only two of the hits off the right-hander went for extra bases, including a Daniel Vogelbach solo shot in the sixth inning, but the singles came in bunches for the Mets as they scored three runs in the first and two more in the third. Mikolas has been tagged for 11 runs in 12 innings over his last two starts on the heels of a 10-start stretch in which he sported a 2.24 ERA, but he'll look to get back on track when he next takes the mound, which could happen on the road next week against the Nationals.

Mikolas (4-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings against the Reds. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds got to Mikolas early, starting with a two-out single from Tyler Stephenson that led to a three-run second inning for Cincinnati. It was more of the same in the third, as the right-hander surrendered a leadoff triple to Matt McLain to start the inning before hitting Jonathan India with a pitch in the next at-bat. Despite giving up five runs early, Mikolas still made it through six innings for the fifth time in his last six starts while taking his second straight loss. He'll look to right the ship next weekend when the Cardinals travel to New York to take on the Mets.

Mikolas (4-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on 10 hits and zero walks over five innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas' 10 hits allowed tied his season-high mark, but he still gave up three or fewer runs and finished at least five innings for a 10th consecutive start. During that stretch, he's posted a modest 45:12 K:BB across 60.1 innings. Despite the lack of strikeouts, Mikolas is clearly in a groove after stumbling out of the gate (16 earned runs over his first three appearances) and will look to stay strong during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend set versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis
Mikolas turned in his second straight shutout start, moving to 20.1 consecutive innings without allowing a run. The 34-year-old also matched his career-high in strikeouts Tuesday, fanning 10 batters to pick up his fourth win. Through 12 starts (69.2 innings), Mikolas owns a 3.75 ERA and 1.29 WHIP to pair with a 3.87 K/BB. Mikolas' next start is tentatively projected to come against the Rangers, who lead MLB in runs per game with 6.3.

Mikolas (3-1) picked up the win Thursday against the Reds after he allowed five hits and no walks across seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander delivered his third straight quality start and has covered seven frames in each of his past two outings. Mikolas had a horrible beginning to the campaign with 16 runs allowed over his first three outings, but he's rebounded in eight starts since with a 2.47 ERA and 33:11 K:BB over 47.1 innings.

Mikolas allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out two batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas dominated Los Angeles in the first five frames, allowing just three hits and no runs. The Dodgers finally got to him when J.D. Martinez hit a game-tying three-run homer in the sixth, but Mikolas bounced back to retire the final six batters he faced. Though he had to settle for a no-decision, this was the right-hander's longest outing of the campaign and his third quality start. He's given up three or fewer runs in each of his seven starts since April 16, posting a 2.90 ERA over 40.1 innings during that span.

Mikolas (2-1) allowed one run on four hits and two walks over six innings against Boston on Sunday. He earned the win but did not record a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing a run in the first inning, Mikolas settled in for five scoreless frames. He got plenty of run support and picked up his first win of the month despite failing to record a strikeout. Over his last four starts, the veteran righty has posted a 2.01 ERA with an 18:7 K:BB. Mikolas' next start is lined up to be against the Dodgers.

Mikolas allowed one run on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings during Monday's win over the Cubs. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas worked around danger multiple times before the Cubs finally broke through in the fifth inning. An RBI double from Dansby Swanson ended his start. Mikolas punched out a season-high seven batters despite forcing only five swinging strikes. The veteran righty lowered his season ERA to 5.40 with a 41:12 K:BB through 41.2 innings. Mikolas' next start is projected to be in Boston this weekend.

Mikolas did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three runs on eight hits over 5.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out five and did not walk a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas continues to turn a corner after a rough start to his season. After coughing up 11 runs over his first 11 innings, he's given up just eight over his last 23. The right-hander is far from an elite option, but he can be counted on for solid outings. The 34-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Cubs on the road in his next appearance.

Mikolas (1-1) earned the win over San Francisco on Thursday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 6.1 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Mikolas began Thursday with an ugly 7.46 season ERA, but he lowered that considerably with a sterling outing against the Giants. The right-hander tossed a campaign-high 6.1 frames and didn't allow any runs while matching a season-best mark with six punchouts. Mikolas will look to build upon this performance moving forward, with his next start tentatively lined up to come at home against the Angels.
