Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole carved up the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, continuing his monster season.
Cole allowed just one run on five hits while fanning four. He didn't issue a free pass in the game and needed just 95 pitches to record his 22 outs. He's now allowed zero earned runs over his last two starts, a span covering 14 1/3 innings.
The outing drops the soon-to-be 25-year-old Cole's FIP to 2.69, which ties him for seventh among all starting pitchers. His 2.27 nERD ranks 14th among hurlers. We project him for a 3.02 ERA and 1.17 WHIP the rest of the way.
