Game 5 Gerrit Cole (20-4 2.87) vs Pablo Lopez (12-10 4.60)

Gerrit Cole came back in game 5 on a full tank of gas, and didn't disappoint. Montreal's 
lone run in the contest came courtesy of a Kevin Cron RBI double in the bottom of the 6th. 
Cole was scintilating, striking out 14 batters against just 1 bb, and really taking the 
air out of the stadium. Oakland got HRs from McCutchen, Betts, and also a 9th inning grand 
slam from Anthony Rendon to push a 2-1 nail biter out of reach. Final score Oakland 6 
Montreal 1.

WP Gerrit Cole (2-0) LP Pablo Lopez (0-2)

Thanks to JD -- really enjoyed netplaying with him. He's a really nice guy, and the future 
is bright in Montreal.
