Yankees.com: Gerrit Cole’s Spin Rate Does Not Stink

Gerrit Cole responded to the ongoing debate over “sticky stuff” with a nine-strikeout performance, while Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton stole the show with thunderous swings as the Yankees rolled to a 9-6 victory over the Twins on Wednesday evening at Target Field.

Following a week in which Cole’s recently reduced spin rate became a hot talking point, Cole tipped his cap after striking out Josh Donaldson in the first inning. He then whiffed the 2015 American League MVP once more in a six-inning effort.
