New York comes into the game with a record of 53-48!

Why?

Because Gerrit Cole who is supposed to be the ace of New York’s starting rotation got off to a bad start!

Gerrit Cole is supposed to be the ace of New York’s starting rotation!

Though, he didn’t pitch like an ace yesterday in St. Petersburg Florida when New York was going for the sweep of Tampa Bay!

Why?

Because New York lost the finale to Tampa Bay by a score of 14-0!

Why?

Two runs scored on that play, sealing what was arguably Cole’s roughest start since joining the Yankees, and the view didn’t improve much from the dugout. The Rays continued to slug in a 10-run sixth inning, handing the Yankees a 14-0 defeat yesterday the finale of a three-game series.

The first four Tampa Bay batters reached in the first inning against Cole, with Yandy Díaz singling home a run before Austin Meadows reached the seats for a three-run homer. Cole shifted to a fastball-heavy approach and worked his way into the sixth, retiring 16 of the next 17 after Meadows’ homer.

Gerrit Cole was charged with eight runs (seven earned) on six hits over 5 1/3 innings, walking two and striking out 10. Cole joined Hippo Vaughn (1912) as the only Yankees to allow eight or more runs while striking out 10 or more batters, and the eight runs allowed were his most as a Yankee.

Gerrit Cole had this to say about his outing in the finale verses Tampa Bay yesterday!

We’ve had some opportunities to sweep and maybe not had some stuff go our way,” Cole said. “But in respect to this series, this one’s on me.”
