Gerrit Cole’s return to Pittsburgh for his first start since being traded away in December 2017 probably would’ve been the primary storyline of this Yankees/Pirates game on most nights. But Friday at PNC Park turned out to have more in store. Anthony Misiewicz relieved Cole in the sixth and suffered a scary injury that brought the crowd to a hush. The Bucs then took the lead on the somewhat-dazed Yanks, but a ninth-inning rally from New York aided by a failed double-play turn keyed Aaron Boone’s club to a 7-5 victory.
Just another night at the ballyard, huh?
