Gerrit Cole led the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night in the Bronx, but not without a little drama.
In the top of the seventh inning with a 2-2 count, Mariners second baseman Jose Caballero waited until just before the pitch clock reached eight seconds to step into the batter's box to be ready to hit.
With the new rules implemented this season, batters must be ready to hit with eight seconds remaining on the pitch clock. If they are not, they are called for a strike.
