Gerrit Cole claimed a remarkable Major League record early in Monday’s start, but the Yankees’ ace couldn’t savor the accomplishment, enduring one of his roughest outings over the last year-plus in a 5-2 loss to the Rangers at Globe Life Field.
Though Cole ran his tally to 61 strikeouts between walks, the longest single-season streak since the mound was moved to its current distance in 1893, the right-hander surrendered season highs of five runs and seven hits over five-plus innings.
