Miles Mikolas turned in a very good start for the Yomiuri Giants for the second consecutive week. This time, he even got something to show for it.
Mikolas struck out 10 over eight shutout innings, got a big assist from his offense and left Tokyo Dome with the winning ball after the Giants' 4-1 victory over the Seibu Lions in an interleague game in front of a crowd of 44,348 at the Big Egg on Thursday.
"Mikolas' pitching has been improving," Giants manager Tatsunori Hara said. "Tonight, he threw his best game and deserved to win."
It was a win Mikolas (1-2) had probably been looking forward to since the season began. He'd pitched very well in his last outing, throwing seven-plus innings of one-run ball against the Hanshin Tigers on May 21, but entered Thursday's game with a pair of losses and a 4.03 ERA after five starts.
