Miles Mikolas a punk

On July 31 at Safeco, Miles Mikolas got into trouble in the third inning against the heart of the Bleeding Ulcers' lineup. He gave up three hits including a triple to Yasmani Grandal, before Wilmer Flores took him deep to center to cap off a four run inning. Mikolas settled down to pitch a scoreless fourth and retire the first two batters in the fifth. He then promptly drilled Flores with the first pitch. Flores charged the mound, and he got a few licks in, sending Mikolas to the DL for 20 games. Unfortunately for Flores, he was unaware that Mikolas did extensive martial arts training during his stint with the Yomiuri Giants. Flores avenged his honor, but at the price of a broken jaw and 37 days on the DL.
