Miles Mikolas burns more than sage in win

Prior to Sunday’s game against the Phillies, Mikolas was observed walking around the outfield burning sage. It may seem a little out of the ordinary. But the Cardinals won on Sunday after a couple of painful games on Friday and Saturday when they couldn’t get anything going.

Mikolas extended the wisdom gained from the sage burning, pitching 7.1 innings, giving up six hits and one earned run, a homer to Rhys Hoskins. Mikolas struck out five and induced 11 swings and misses.

Genesis Cabrera pitched one inning, striking out one. Junior Fernandez pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up two hits while striking out one.
