Cole gave up eight hits and five earned runs over just 4.2 innings pitched on Wednesday against the Reds. He walked three and struck out five to earn the loss. Cole (11-3) had won six straight starts entering Wednesday's game against the Reds, and the streak was finally broken. He had a rough first inning in which he gave up four runs to put the Pirates in a early hole. Cole is the front runner right now for the NL Cy Young Award, and fantasy owners shouldn't be concerned whatsoever. Everyone loses once in awhile.
