After an improbable series win over the Oakland Athletics, the New York Yankees entertained the Kansas City Royals at Yankees Stadium last night. With the Yankees ace Gerrit Cole on the mound at home, the Royals beat the Yankees 6-5.
Ace Gerrit Cole solid
Although he has been silent on the matter, Gerrit Cole, the New York Yankee ace, must be feeling frustrated that the lack of Yankee hitting is holding down his record. Cole is 8-3 in fifteen games with four no-decisions. Last night was another one of those no decisions. Cole went seven complete innings giving up just two earned runs while striking out six.
