The Yankees could not have played a more entertaining game last night, putting up 13 runs against the Tigers while Gerrit Cole carried a perfect game into the seventh inning. Alongside Jameson Taillon’s effort on Thursday, they become the first teammates in the Expansion Era to carry perfect-game bids at least six innings in consecutive contests. It’s hard to see the Yankees rivals topping that performance.
The Twins opened the scoring in the first on a two-run home run by Kyle Garlick; however, the Blue Jays answered right back in the bottom half on a George Springer leadoff bomb and Teoscar Hernández RBI single.
