Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole is expected to be the starter for Friday's Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Cole threw a bullpen session after Tuesday's Wild Card win, which seemingly puts him in line to start Friday. The rookie went 10-7 with a 3.22 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 100:28 K:BB ratio in 117 1/3 innings over 19 starts during the regular season.
