Pirates starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (2-2) put together a dominant outing, but was not backed by any run support in his team's 1-0 defeat. The right-hander permitted one run on six hits and three walks while striking out four over seven innings of work, suffering his second loss of the season.

Cole has allowed just two earned runs over his last 15 innings pitched in his previous two starts. He owns a 3.18 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP with a 26:11 K:BB ratio over 34 innings pitched. He'll make his next start Wednesday at home against San Francisco.
