It was a pitcher’s duel at Great American on Thursday afternoon, with the game going down to the wire in a Cardinals’ 2-1 victory.
Miles Mikolas was stellar in his seven innings of work, allowing just five hits while punching out five.
Former Cardinal first-rounder Luke Weaver opposed him and went toe to toe with Mikolas into the sixth inning, where he was removed after allowing a single to Alec Burleson and plunking Juan Yepez.
The Cardinals’ defense was key in this matchup, as the shutout was preserved by a key grab in left by Juan Yepez.
