[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1779013, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/quick-hits-a-man-ly-milestone-for-pujols-homer-from-dickerson-back-mikolas-as-cardinals/article_fd526acd-8641-5295-af08-1e988ae8aa72.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/dgoold']Derrick Goold[/URL] If there is to be a fifth player plucked from the Cardinals’ roster and added to next week’s All-Star Game, the sage choice would be starter Miles Mikolas. A day after he walked the field with some burning sage leaves and fumigated the team’s bat rack with smoke from the plant named for “healing,” Mikolas cleared the air and made his case from the mound. The Cardinals’ right-hander pitched a strong 7⅓ innings, buying time for the rally and power that came from the bottom of the lineup in a 6-1 victory Monday against Philadelphia at Busch Stadium. A series that began with two consecutive shutout losses and endless questions about the direction of the Cardinals’ offense ended with home runs by Corey Dickerson and Lars Nootbaar — hit presumably with bats that received attention from Mikolas’ herbal remedy. The Cardinals rallied with six unanswered runs to split the four-game visit from the Phillies and get some traction in a rigorous portion of the schedule. The Los Angeles Dodgers, away from their ballpark as they prep for next week’s All-Star Game, visit for a midweek three-game series starting on Tuesday, and there is about to be some roster churn when it comes to the All-Star participants. Monday’s game featured two starters overlooked by the National League: Mikolas and Philadelphia's Aaron Nola. The Phillies’ right-hander has been an innings brute, carrying 111⅓ innings into Monday’s start. Like Mikolas, Nola’s record (now 5-7) misleads a stat line that also includes a 3.15 ERA. [/QUOTE]
