Funny story, before Gerrit Cole's start yesterday I read a stat telling me that Cole had allowed more than 3 ER only once all season. You can blame that guy for his line last night of 6.2 IP, 4 ER, 9 Hits, 1 BB, 5 Ks...or can you? Over the last two months (11 starts), he now holds a 3.66 ERA (3.15 FIP, 3.46 xFIP) with only a 7.70 K/9. Those numbers aren't bad, but I find it tough to consider Cole a Top 10 pitcher these days. I'd be looking to swap him out with a big bat and ride with a guy like Price/Greinke/Bumgarner instead.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
