'Dominant' Gerrit Cole strikes out 15 in seven innings, helps New York Yankees stop losing streak

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The New York Yankees snapped a four-game losing streak with a career game for ace Gerrit Cole in their 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

Cole induced 32 swings and misses, a new regular-season career high, striking out 15 batters over 7 innings Wednesday night. Cole's 15 strikeouts, one short of his career high, tied him with the New York Mets' Jacob deGrom for the most strikeouts through 7 innings of a game by any pitcher this season.

"Dominant," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in describing Cole's start.
