If there was a question of paternity between Gerrit Cole and the Guardians, the Yankees’ ace seems to have answered it stephapstein on Cole's season-saving performance
. He briefly set the baby down around second, then picked it back up by third base, at which point he appeared to shout, toward the Cleveland dugout, “That’s my little f------ son!”, “Yeah. Whatever. It’s cute.” He added, “I just was made aware of it. I didn't see it in the moment, and it wouldn't have bothered me in the moment, and it just is kind of funny, so. …” He smiled and trailed off.that the celebration is indeed intended to indicate that Naylor is the pitcher’s daddy.
An already shaky bullpen was further disrupted by a rain delay that meant the teams will play four games in four days, with two flights stuffed in there, and the Yankees needed length from Cole nearly as much as they needed dominance. He provided both: seven innings of two-run ball, with eight strikeouts of the best bat-to-ball team in the majors.
If that sounds simple, that’s because it was. And so was his success on Sunday. “He made good pitches,” Trevino said. “Fastball for strikes, curveball for strikes, slider for strikes.”David Richard/USA TODAY Sports He never let things get out of hand Sunday. The leadoff man reached base in each of the first three innings, but Cole never seemed to panic. The only run before Naylor’s homer came in the third, when a walk, a lineout, a fielder’s choice and a single put runners at first and second with two outs.
