The New York Yankees needed to get back on track, and a big 14-strikeout performance in the second game of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins by Gerrit Cole helped to do that. Over 6.2 innings pitched, he only allowed one run — a home run to former Astros teammate Carlos Correa — and walked two batters.
Giving up a home run and then bouncing back has not been something that is uncommon for Cole this season. But there did appear to be a tangible difference in terms of his windup.
