New York won their ninth straight game yesterday with 7-1 win over Minnesota because of starting pitching from Gerrit Cole offense from Giancarlo Stanton, Luke Voit , Andrew Velazquez.

Where?

Bronx New York!

Gerrit Cole cruised to his 12th victory, pitching out of traffic in the second and fifth innings. Cole pinned two runners aboard in the second by inducing a Willians Astudillo popout. He then stranded the bases loaded in the fifth by striking out Jorge Polanco and Josh Donaldson, rearing back to gas Polanco with 99.4 mph heat before freezing Donaldson on a 91.2 mph changeup.

Gerrit Cole worked six pristine innings, scattering five hits and a walk while striking out six. Polanco hit an eighth-inning homer off Lucas Luetge to break up the shutout.

Offensively Giancarlo Stanton and Luke Voit each drove in two runs to support six scoreless innings from Gerrit Cole. Andrew Velazquez hit his inaugural Major League Baseball home run.

Giancarlo Stanton had this to say about New York’s offense!

We’re just having great at-bats, top to bottom,” Stanton said. “The biggest factor has been wearing down the opposing pitcher. If we’ve got a lot of guys not chasing and forcing them to come into the zone, try to be more precise, they’re just going to make more mistakes. I think that’s what we’ve been doing.”

Aaron Boone who is the manager of the team that wears the pinstripes had this to say about New York’s offense!

Hopefully that’s what we can start to do more and more -- the weight of the lineup, the quality of the at-bats up and down,You’re not always going to break through the first time or the second time in a given game. But the more we can have those quality at-bats time and time again, you give yourself a chance to break through and have a big inning.”
