After what appeared to be quite a second-half tailspin, the Yankees are getting themselves back on track. Outside of clinching their 30th consecutive winning season on Wednesday, New York’s American League East lead remains at five games. They’ve won four straight, including a doubleheader sweep of the Twins, which was punctuated by a classic Gerrit Cole performance.
In 6.2 innings, Cole allowed just one run on five hits, two walks, and a season-high 14 strikeouts. Here are all those punchies for your viewing pleasure:
Cole is feeling pretty good right now, too. He’s secured double-digit strikeouts in two of his last three starts while pitching into the seventh inning each time.
