Gerrit Cole surrendered three earned runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday as the Pirates fell to the Marlins. The rookie struck out a career-high eight batters in defeat, nice to see after he entered the contest having punched out just 29 in 48 2/3 innings. The young right-hander has been incredibly consistent with the Pirates, allowing three runs or less in all nine of his starts. Cole falls to 5-4 with a 3.56 ERA and 1.13 WHIP.
