The first Cardinals-Cubs clash of the season plays out this weekend at Busch Stadium. In this edition of Inside Pitch, columnists Ben Frederickson and Jeff Gordon preview the series and how it could impact the season. Returns for Carlos Martinez and Miles Mikolas will be key.
Miles Mikolas’ last previous big-league competition took place in October, 2019. He salvaged some personal satisfaction by pitching two outstanding games in the playoffs for the Cardinals, holding Atlanta and Washington to one run apiece over six innings after tying for the league lead in losses at 14, one year after he had tied for the league lead in wins at 18.
