After a tough loss in Cleveland last night to begin a three-game set, the Yankees look to rebound against the Guardians this evening. In an attempt to accomplish that goal, the Bombers will turn to Gerrit Cole. They’d be hard-pressed to find a better man for the job anywhere else in the league, as the tall right-hander is as reliable as they come and is off to a blistering start to the season. Over 12.1 innings in his first two starts, Cole has amassed 19 strikeouts against just five walks, six hits, and one run. He’ll hope to continue that trend against a Guardians’ offense not all that different from the one he dominated twice in last year’s ALDS.
