NEW YORK -- Gerrit Cole's first start of the 2024 season went about as well as he and the New York Yankees could have hoped last week. His second outing Tuesday night against the Mets didn't.
Cole was blasted over four innings, yielding six runs on seven hits in the Yankees' 9-7 loss at Citi Field. He gave up four home runs, walked four and didn't record a strikeout. It was the second time Cole didn't register a strikeout in his career and the second time he has allowed at least four home runs.
"Just disappointing," Cole said.
