Miles Mikolas has a redemption outing

After a disappointing performance, Mikolas had a dominant outing Sunday that kept the Cardinals in it to win.

Getting him out of the high altitude seemed to help. Mikolas pitched eight innings, giving up four hits and two runs, including a home run to Hunter Renfroe. He struck out six batters and induced four swings and misses.

Ryan Helsley pitched the ninth inning. He gave up two hits and a solo home run to Rowdy Tellez. He struck out one batter while inducing four swings and misses.
