After last Saturday’s win over the Red Sox, Gerrit Cole was technically on a streak of two consecutive complete games. The reason “technically” is used there is that second one was only six innings courtesy of a rain-shortened game. While it seems likely that Cole was coming back out for the seventh, he was already at 96 pitches. He almost certainly wouldn’t have lasted a full nine, unless he started mowing Boston down with three-pitch innings.
Even though it came on a technicality, two-straight complete games is still pretty good and fun. Yet it is still not even 10% of the Yankees’ record for the most consecutive complete games.
