Cole allowed one unearned run on seven hits and three walks in five innings Thursday against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Cole, who threw 70 of 106 pitches for strikes, struggled with his pinpoint control at various times. After failing to record a strikeout in his last start, the righty struck out the first batter he faced and then retired the side on strikeouts in his last inning. He also went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run homer, but lost the win when A.J. Schugel gave up two runs in the sixth inning.
