Opening Day finally has arrived. Unfortunately, your St. Louis Cardinals weren’t able to pull out the win. What follows are my initial gut reactions and a breakdown of how the game went.
For one, Miles Mikolas wasn’t as bad as the final line shows. He only gave up 5 hits and 1 walk over 5 innings. It just so happened that 3 of those hits went over the wall. The home runs are uncharacteristic of Mikolas, who figures to be a major cog in this St. Louis Cardinals team. The takeaway is that Mikolas didn’t labor too often this afternoon and kept the bases relatively empty.
