Pirates ace Gerrit Cole was excellent in his start against the Giants on Saturday. The young right-hander allowed one unearned run on three hits over seven solid innings. He walked three and struck out eight. Cole was left with a no-decision, as the Pirates grabbed the 3-2 walk-off win.
This was a much-needed dominant outing for Cole, who came into the game with a 4.70 ERA over his previous four starts.
