NEW YORK — Harrison Bader hit a go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning and the New York Yankees overcame Gerrit Cole's shortest start of the season and rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
The Yankees won for the third time in 30 games when trailing after seven innings after entering the eighth with one hit since the second inning.
Rookie Anthony Volpe sparked the comeback with a double off John King (1-1) and Jose Trevino followed with an infield single. Bader gave the Yankees the lead by ripping a 1-1 pitch from Yerry Rodríguez past left fielder Ezequiel Duran to the warning track as pinch-runner Oswaldo Cabrera scored from first.
