ST. LOUIS – Tyler O Neill is struggling to gain time in a crowded Cardinals field, and he continues to win the battle.

The left-field player had his first multi-player night in the major leagues on Monday night, returning to a gem of Miles Mikolas and give the Cardinals a 7-0 win over the Pirates at Busch Stadium in the first game of the series. It was the Cardinals' third consecutive victory and place them in second place in the National Central League for the first time since May 2nd.

• The score of the box

O'Neill is 6-12 in his last three games with nine RBIs and three home runs. The two circuits Monday night covered 416 feet and 433 feet, both of them right away from center. After his second outing, he made his cap available to loyal fans at Busch Stadium on Monday night.

But O'Neill was not the only one to have been ovationed by the crowd. Mikolas launched his second career shutout on just 100 shots. His last match was on May 21, 2018, against Kansas City. It was the first complete game of Cardinals this season.

It was exactly the start that the Cardinals and Mikolas needed after his first half of the season, which was not uniform, and the series of starts has been solid since the All-Star break.

Cardinals starting pitchers were 2-0 with a 1.37 silver in three games against the D-back this weekend, and Mikolas continued his run against Pittsburgh.
