Miles Mikolas News: Chased early in 10th loss

Mikolas (6-10) took the loss Friday against the Rays, allowing five runs (four earned) on 10 hits and one walk in 2.2 innings. He struck out one.

Mikolas matched his shortest outing of the season, and it was the third time this year that he yielded double-digit hits. Additionally, it was the seventh instance in 2025 in which the veteran right-hander punched out a lone batter. While Mikolas has a lackluster 5.17 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 81:31 K:BB across 125.1 innings, he might carry a shred of streaming appeal in deeper formats next week in a favorable home matchup versus the last-place Pirates.
