On Wednesday night, the Nationals ended a seven-game losing streak in an extra-inning battle with the Philadelphia Phillies. Mikolas, Camerato reports, is only the third starting pitcher to drive in a run since the league-wide designated hitter was introduced. Mikolas joined Victor Mederos, for the Atlanta Braves this season, and Ryne Nelson for the Arizona Diamondbacks last season. I still remember when back in 2011, former Nationals pitcher Tommy Milone, ambushed the first pitch he ever saw for a three-run homer. Miles Mikolas, who is the Nationals' starting pitcher today, officially reaches ten years of big league service time, an accomplishment so many big leaguers hope to reach, but fall short.
