Gerrit Cole struck out six, but was handed his fifth loss of the season on Friday after surrendering three runs on three hits and a pair of walks over 5 1/3 innings against the Rockies. Troy Tulowitzki tagged him for a solo homer in the second inning, and added an RBI single in their two-run uprising in the sixth that chased Cole from the game. The studly young right-hander now sits at 5-5 on the season with a 3.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 43/14 K/BB ratio through 61 innings. He'll draw the Marlins next at home on Thursday.
