Cole (12-5) struck out seven and picked up the win in Saturday's 8-2 victory over the Cardinals, giving up one run on four hits and three walks over seven innings.
Once again blessed with plenty of run support, Cole's only real mistake got deposited in the seats by the red-hot Paul Goldschmidt. The right-hander will carry a 2.94 ERA and 212:37 K:BB through 143.2 innings into his next start Thursday in Cleveland.
