The Yankees ace was shelled for a season-worst six runs in four innings Saturday in The Bronx in a 8-1 loss to the Red Sox.
As the baseball axiom goes, managers often make themselves look smart by calling a team meeting right before a game started by their unquestioned ace.
“They had a good day. They’re major-league quality hitters and they put together some quality at-bats,” Cole said.“It was a beautiful pitch, but a better swing.” The six-time All-Star came into the game among the front-runners for the AL Cy Young Award, boasting a 2.55 ERA in 11 games following a Yankees loss, with the team winning nine of those games.
“They had some long at-bats. They were able to spoil a lot of pitches on him, outlast him a little bit,” Boone said.
