In Game Five of the ALDS against the Rays, Gleyber Torres bobbled a Yandy Díaz groundball into the 5.5-hole with one out into Gerrit Cole’s fourth inning of work. Though Díaz never came around to score, Cole needed another seven pitches to strike-out Willy Adames for the would-be fourth out.
It’s a small thing, but on three days rest, Cole was only able to reach 94 pitches after allowing one homer and two heart palpitation inducing near-wall-scrapers to the final four batters he faced.
