There’s no rest for the weary. After a come-from-behind extra-innings victory in the first game of the doubleheader, the Yankees turn right around to do it all over again. Ace Gerrit Cole is on the mound taking on Twins rookie Joe Ryan as the Bombers try to sweep the day’s twin billing.
Cole has looked better over the last five starts with a 2.16 ERA, following a disastrous July by his standards. That said, he still struggles with the big inning, having given up five, six, four, and three runs in a single frame in four of his last seven starts.
