But manager Oliver Marmol did offer up Sunday morning that starters Miles Mikolas and Jose Quintana would work shorter stints than normal when they pitch on Monday in Pittsburgh, and that Dakota Hudson will start on Tuesday. But who will start and who will come in second on Monday is to be determined, Marmol said. “Maybe I’ll let them play rock, paper, scissors,” he said. Both hurlers likely are to pitch three innings, according to Marmol. Mikolas smiled and said, “I don’t know if I’m allowed to discuss such secret information. For whatever reason, they’ve got some cloak-and-dagger games going here. I just think it’s best to hold my tongue. I’m going to throw whenever they give me the ball. “Sorry I don’t have a better answer. “I’m going to give you my political answer. I’m going to pitch at some point because I’m a pitcher and if there’s pitching to do, then I’ll pitch. And that will be the pitching that I do when it’s my turn to pitch.” As for the more pressing question — the two or three starters for the wild-card-round series to be played in St. Louis this coming weekend, Marmol said he really had no idea. Or not much of one, anyway, other than there were five legitimate candidates including left-hander Jordan Montgomery and right-handers Jack Flaherty and Adam Wainwright.
