Gerrit Cole left the game with the lead and in line for the win Friday night. But his Yankees World Series debut didn’t go as planned after he left.
While Clay Holmes stranded Cole’s runner in the seventh, the Dodgers tied the Yankees in the bottom of the eighth to cost Cole a win.For the most part, Cole did what he usually does in a 6-3, 10-inning Game 1 loss at Dodger Stadium.
And Cole also provided some length, which the Yankees hope they can use to their advantage over the Dodgers makeshift rotation during the series.On Friday, though, right-hander Jack Flaherty pitched 5 ¹/₃ innings before Dave Roberts left him in to face Giancarlo Stanton, whose two-run homer gave the Yankees the lead.
But he mostly cruised through the second, third and fourth innings before Kiké Hernandez tripled to right. Aaron Boone went to Holmes with one on and no one out in the seventh and Holmes barely got out of the inning unscathed.
