Gerrit Cole was in unfamiliar territory during his first World Series start during the Astros' 5-4 loss in Game 1.
Cole earned his first loss since May 22nd as the Nationals jumped on him early and often, scoring five runs on eight hits over seven innings. .
Now him and the Astros have revenge from game 1 and the offense of the Astros that is heating up and Nationals team that is heading in the opposite direction after their crazy run, which we have seen their bats have gone cold. I think Cole will bounce back as the Astros are 8-0 in his last 8 road starts.
