ST. LOUIS - Miles Mikolas was ejected from Thursday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs after plunking Ian Happ with a pitch, just moments after an errant backswing from Happ hit Willson Contreras on top of his mask, led to sudden pain and forced him to leave early. Umpires allege there was intent in Mikolas hitting Happ, leading to the ejection. It ended the St. Louis Cardinals veteran's night after just 14 pitches and three batters faced. "I was a little surprised," said Mikolas on the ejection via Bally Sports Midwest. "I threw a pitch inside, it got [Happ]. He was just going to take his base. There was no chirping or anything between sides. He was taking his base, and I was waiting on the next ball, go get the next hitter. [The umpires] had a meeting, and they decided to toss me." Five Cardinals to watch as the clock ticks closer to trade deadline Umpire crew chief Lance Barksdale commented on the situation after the game to St. Louis Post-Dispatch Cardinals beat writer ...
