Cole (5-4) allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 6.1 innings in a loss Tuesday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Cole was dominant in six shutout innings to open the start, but he gave up three singles (including one infield hit), a walk and a wild pitch to surrender a three-run seventh inning. He was finally pulled after 108 pitches and may have simply ran out of gas. Despite the hitch, Cole still has four quality starts in his last five starts, a span in which he has allowed just six earned runs and has lowered his ERA from 3.95 to 2.72.
