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."
