Cole (19-8) struck out only two over his seven innings Wednesday afternoon, but limited the Cardinals to two runs on seven hits in a winning effort.

EDGE Analysis

Cole got Wednesday's doubleheader started off in a big way, but he unfortunately won't get a chance to go for his 20th win of the year, as this was his last start of the regular season. This was the third time in four starts that he didn't walk a batter, and the Pirates will hope he can maintain that impressive form when he starts the NL wild-card game against the Cubs next week.
