On Tuesday September 7, 2021 Gerrit Cole who is a right handed pitcher had to leave his start verses Toronto in Bronx New York!

When?

In the top of the fourth inning!

Why?

Because of left hamstring tightness!

Gerrit Cole had this to say about his injury!

I'm obviously disappointed about the outcome for today,” Cole said. “But I kind of want to reserve judgement until we see how this thing kind of reacts for the next 24 to 36 hours.

“I guess for my mentality, I just want to make sure I’m good if I’m good, or if I need a few extra days, I need a few extra days. … Unfortunately, I just had to pull the plug in Tuesday’s game.”

On Tuesday September 14, 2021 Gerrit Cole returned, started!

In his start verses Baltimore in Baltimore Maryland Gerrit Cole struck out seven , allowed one run, four hits, three walks while pitching five innings.

Aaron Boone who is the manager of New York had this to say about Gerrit Cole’s start!

[The Orioles] worked back into the count, so that drove his pitch count up,” said Boone of Cole’s 108-pitch outing. “So you know, it was work for him on a humid night here through those five innings. But I thought, stuff-wise -- especially fastball-curveball combination -- I thought [they] were really good tonight.”

Gerrit Cole was supported offensively by the long ball in New York’s 7-2 over Baltimore last night.

Where?

Baltimore Maryland!

How?

Court was in session for the inaugural home run!

Why?

Aaron Judge smacked his fourth home run in four games during the first inning, giving Gerrit Cole a comfortable 2-0 lead before even taking the mound.

Giancarlo Stanton and Luke Voit went back-to-back in the third frame, adding three insurance runs for New York. Joey Gallo wanted in on the big fly fun, so he sent a ball sailing 402 feet to right-center field in the eighth. And one more for good measure came from DJ LeMahieu in the ninth.

With the win New York closed the gap in the AL Wild Card race with the win, as the Blue Jays were shut out by the Rays earlier in the evening. A win by Boston (82-65) in Seattle later in the night created a virtual three-way tie with New York (81-64) and Toronto (81-64).

Gerrit Cole had this to say about the Wild Card standings!

I don't know if we're thinking about the stretch We’ve got to get focused on one series at a time, one game at a time and get this one out of the way. … We’ve got work to do tomorrow. And that's what we're focused on.”
