Both pitchers left the mound with something to brag about — singles in their final trips to the plate.

"My fastball command was just a little spotty," Mikolas said. "I had trouble working the ball in to lefties. My curveball and slider command was pretty good. I gave up some runs, but I didn't feel like I was pitching too terribly. They hit some good pitches. They put some good swings on pitches I thought were pretty good. But, overall, I think it was good. I felt good. I commanded my offspeed stuff well. Fastball command is, that's a couple of bullpens, and I should be dialed right back in.
