Gerrit Cole might have given the Yankees some reason to hope he’s returning to top form with the best start of his season in Friday’s win.
BALTIMORE — The Yankees have plenty of issues to fix if they want to get back to how they were playing for the first two-plus months of the season.
While the win was somewhat overshadowed by the ninth-inning fireworks stemming from Clay Holmes drilling Heston Kjerstad in the head that led to the benches clearing, much of the early part of the game was dominated by Cole’s solid performance on the mound. Gerrit Cole looks like himself before tempers flare late as Yankees start key Orioles series with winCole allowed five hits, a walk and fanned seven, and said his command improved as the game went on during a steamy night in Baltimore.
“He held his stuff through the outing,’’ Boone said. “I thought his stuff was crisp. I loved the way he was competing. He had an edge to him and he was having fun.”Boone also called the six innings “huge” for a Yankees staff whose bullpen has been worked hard of late.“That’s one of the best, if not the best offense in the AL,” Judge said of the Orioles’ high-octane lineup.
