Gerrit Cole Dominates Orioles
4 years agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole absolutely dominated the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, striking out 13 while scattering four hits without a walk in seven scoreless innings in a 7-2 win. Cole threw 97 pitches and touched 100.5 mph with his fastball. His 13 K's were the most in a regular season game since he joined New York. The right-hander generated 27 swings and misses and became the seventh Yankee to throw seven or more scoreless innings with no walks and 13 or more strikeouts. The 30-year-old allowed two runs on five hits in a loss to the Blue Jays in his first start of the season, and he now has 21 strikeouts in two outings. Cole should continue to be a must-start fantasy ace.
