Good Morning, baseball fans!
The San Francisco Giants welcome the St. Louis Cardinals to town today to kick off a four-game series at Oracle Park.
Miles Mikolas is starting for the Cardinals, and as I was doing my research for the gamethread, I realized why that name sounded so familiar to me. Then I saw Austin Slater’s stats against him and started laughing.
The last time the Giants faced Mikolas, Austin Slater hit his first career grand slam off of him.
And we were there to see it! It was the last time we did a McCovey Chronicles meet-up game in July of 2019.
