Gerrit Cole Delivers Seven Strong Innings In Win
9 months agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole threw seven two-run innings on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts for his 10th win of the year on Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. The 32-year-old held up his end of the advertised pitching-duel bargain against Shane McClanahan in this one. After Wander Franco hammered a two-run home run in the opening frame, Cole would find a groove and rattle off six scoreless innings thereafter, notably punching out the side in the fourth. It was the superstar right-hander's sixth consecutive quality start, and Cole has now allowed three runs or fewer in 11 straight appearances. 2023's top-ranked fantasy starting pitcher totes a 2.64 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 157:38 K:BB in 143.1 innings into a road matchup against the Chicago White Sox slated for Monday.
