Pirates rookie starter Gerrit Cole turned in another solid outing as he picked his third win of the season Friday night against the Angels.

Cole (3-0) pitched five scoreless innings before surrendering a solo home run to Albert Pujols and a run-scoring single to Alberto Callaspo in the seventh inning before his night was over. The right-hander allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking five in 6 1/3 innings pitched in a 5-2 win.

Cole has allowed just seven runs over his first 18 1/3 innings pitched in the majors. He is scheduled to make his next start Friday at home against the Brewers.
