Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole was saddled with his sixth loss despite throwing a quality start in his team's 2-1 loss to the Padres Wednesday, giving up two earned runs on ten hits while striking out five and walking none in six innings.
It was the first time Cole didn't walk a batter since his first two starts in mid-June. He takes a 6-6 record, 3.81 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 57:17 K:BB ratio into Tuesday's start against the Brewers.
