The good vibes that resulted from sweeping the Astros in Houston are a thing of the past. Taking two of three from the Tigers was nice, though missing out on the sweep felt like a missed opportunity. But now, Milwaukee has come into the Bronx and punched the Yankees directly in the mouth, taking the first two games of this series with relative ease.
In an effort to salvage a win in the series, and a little bit of dignity, Gerrit Cole gets the ball today for New York. His 2023 performance has almost certainly been the highlight of the season, as he’s been sublime even while so much else has gone so horrifically wrong.
