One man named Cole will take the mound tonight. When he’s done, a second man named Cole will take the mound.

• Cole Irvin is the 9th player named Cole in MLB history
• Today will be the 1st time two pitchers with the first name of Cole will start in the same game in MLB history
• Aso the 1st time two Coles will pitch in one game
Per @baseball_ref
Throw in that one of the Cole’s is a beloved former member of the team against which he’s pitching, and this game has all the makings of an all-time Cole-assic.
