New York Manager Aaron Boone had this to say about Gerrit Cole’s start!
He was pretty adamant about, ‘No, I’m comfortable.’ And he’s usually very good at explaining where he’s at or how he’s feeling,”I think [the decision was] based off the way he was throwing in the sixth inning, where I thought he was in cruise control. … I thought he settled into a really good rhythm with all of his pitches, and I felt like even still at the end [he] was very sharp.”
New York manager Aaron Boone had this to say about Gleyber Torres!
Gleyber’s seeing the ball really well off lefties right now. That’s a great swing,” Cole said. “We had some traffic on them … we just couldn’t push through. But I didn’t think we threw any at-bats away. We stayed locked in and obviously pushed the last one across, which got us the win.”
