It’s always a good thing when your ace says his first playoff game with the New York Yankees was “a lot of fun.”
The Yankees completely walloped the Indians in game one of the AL Wild Card on Tuesday evening. By a score of 12-3, not only did the offense come to play, but Gerrit Cole pitched a fantastic game. He lasted 7.0 innings, allowing six eights and two earned runs. He also set a Yankee record with 13 strikeouts and zero walks in the postseason. He currently has a 2.57 ERA.
On the other side of the street, Shane Bieber, arguably the best pitcher in the MLB this season, was absolutely torched by a powerful Yankee lineup.
