Harrison Bader hit a go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning and the Yankees overcame Gerrit Cole's shortest start of the season and rallied for a victory over the Rangers on Sunday.
Rookie Anthony Volpe sparked the comeback with a double off John King and Jose Trevino followed with an infield single. Bader gave the Yankees the lead by ripping a 1-1 pitch from Yerry Rodríguez past left fielder Ezequiel Duran to the warning track as pinch-runner Oswaldo Cabrera scored from first.
"It's good to see," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said."Hopefully we can build on that. Obviously we know when he gets going how much a problem he is for the opposition." Cole allowed three runs and a season-high nine hits in 4 2/3 innings. It was Cole's shortest start since lasting 2 1/3 innings June 9, 2022, at Minnesota when he allowed five homers.
"We had some great at-bats there, I thought, off Cole," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said."We worked him hard. We got him out early. Just didn't quite get rewarded enough."Marcus Semien opened with a double and Seager made it 1-0 with a base hit. Donaldson is hitting .125 in 21 games. Since returning from a hamstring injury June 2, he's 6 for 48 with 14 strikeouts.
