The New York Yankees saw everything they needed to see from 2020 top pitching free agent Gerrit Cole in his dominant performance in game three of the ALCS.
Cole, who saw several instances of worry, managed to elevate his game to work through the Yankees batting order until he was relieved in the 8th inning. His seven strikeouts and four hits allowed were enough to keep the Yanks at zero runs until a Gleyber Torres homer in the eighth inning opened up the scoring.
The Yankees still fell 4-1 on the day, and now they will pick up where they left off on Thursday after a rainout Wednesday night.
