The New York Yankees sent Gerrit Cole to the mound on Sunday in a rubber game against a Cleveland team that cannot hit. They faced a starter with an ERA in the 6.00s in Eli Morgan.
Somehow, the game turned into a more disastrous laugher than Saturday’s, an 11-3 utter failure that spun out after Gary Sanchez dropped a foul pop in the fifth and chaos ensued.
Cole’s start was massively important, especially with the Red Sox facing their third consecutive O’s starter with an ERA above 6.50 (cool) and the Jays getting yet another tomato can in the Minnesota Twins.
