Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was hurt by the long ball, then saved by the long ball.
BOSTON — Gerrit Cole was hurt by the long ball, then saved by the long ball.
After serving up long balls to Triston Casas, Reese McGuire and Xander Bogaerts, Cole has now allowed 27 home runs this season — tied for the third-most in MLB, though he had thrown more innings than any other pitcher in the top 17 in that category. His 1.4 home runs per nine innings are tied for fifth among qualified pitchers in MLB.
The first homer of the night came in the second inning. After walking Rafael Devers — who is normally the one doing damage off Cole — to lead off the inning, Cole got two outs before leaving a 2-0 fastball over the plate to Casas. The rookie drilled it off a sign above the Green Monster for his second career home run to give the Red Sox a 2-0 lead.
