Miles Mikolas excelled in the Cardinals' 6-0 victory over the Nationals, pitching 6.1 scoreless innings and displaying control with no walks. His performance, including a 1.21 WHIP, solidifies him as a valuable fantasy option, especially in favorable matchups. Mikolas, supported by Paul Goldschmidt and Alec Burleson's homers, contributed significantly to the Cardinals' recent successes, winning six of their last eight games. Despite Mikolas' 4.88 ERA this season, his improved outings and consistent quality starts demonstrate his reliability for the team.
