Pirates starting pitcher Gerrit Cole fell to .500 on the season Tuesday, in a 5-2 loss to the Brewers.
Cole fell one out shy of a quality start, as the Brewers chased him in the sixth. He allowed three runs on seven hits in his 5 2/3 innings of work, while walking three batters and striking out six. The 23-year-old threw 64 of 105 pitches for strikes in the loss.
Cole has had an up-and-down second season in the majors, and is now 3-3 with a 3.76 ERA in eight starts. His next start is set for Sunday against the Yankees.
