Luis Gil Has Already Had A Couple Opportunities To Start Games For New York! Is He About To Get Another?

Luis Gil has already had a couple opportunities to start games for New York!

In his inaugural start for New York he was taking the place of Gerrit Cole!

When?

On Tuesday August 3, 2021!

Why?

Gerrit Cole tested positive for the Coronavirus that in 2021 is still affecting us in the United States and around the world though he was vaccinated.

In Luis Gil’s inaugural start he threw six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out six. Gil relied heavily on his four-seam fastball -- clocked as high as 98.5 mph -- and slider to get quick outs.

In his second start for New York verses Seattle on Sunday August 9, 2021 Luis Gil started his second game for New York!

In that start Luis Gil followed his inaugural scoreless outing with another scoreless outing!

How?

He pitched five shutout innings, allowed two hits and struck out eight batters, though New York returned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following the game.
