Follow UsGerrit Cole‘s performance was sufficient to contribute to the Yankees’ victory, but it wasn’t impressive enough to instill a sense of unwavering optimism about his outing.
The Yankees’ top pitcher, Gerrit Cole, gave up a total of six runs (with five of them being earned) in a span of six-plus innings, primarily due to the recurring issue he faced in 2022 of yielding a significant number of home runs.
After maintaining a homerless streak throughout his initial seven starts of the season, Gerrit Cole’s performance has taken a different turn, allowing a total of eight home runs in his last five games. The Padres added a couple of long balls to that tally on Sunday during the Yankees’ 10-7 triumph in The Bronx.
