The Cardinals entered today with an odd “stop the bleeding” feeling — odd, because they’d actually gone 3-3 in the week before, which is pretty unremarkable. But two of those losses had been to the Marlins, so... yeah, it seemed like they should stop losing games to the Marlins. And they did! They beat the Marlins 4-1.
Miles Mikolas, as of course we all expected him to be from the moment he was signed and especially during his first couple spring outings, has been the team’s best starter in 2018. He took the mound for the home team, and it’s been a real pleasure to watch him pitch this year.
