The Yankees sent starting pitcher Gerrit Cole to the mound on Sunday afternoon in the Bronx. Their hope was for a split of a four-game set with the Minnesota Twins before a day off on Monday. Cole delivered in dominant fashion — both on the mound and in the dugout.
The right-hander stymied Twins hitters by tossing a complete-game shutout with 10 strikeouts while allowing just one walk and two hits. This has just been the continuation of an incredible start to 2023 for him. Cole is now 4-0 with a 0.95 ERA and 0.74 WHIP to go along with a 32.
