Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole didn't factor into the decision Wednesday after allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks in five innings and striking out six in his team's 5-4, 11-inning loss to the Reds.
Cole began his start by giving up a solo home run to Reds third baseman Todd Frazier in the first inning, and while the Reds were able to tack on runs in the third and fourth inning, the starter's offense battled back to take him off the hook for the loss. He'll look for better results Monday against the Tigers.
