We’ve got another rubber match Sunday with the Yankees’ ace on the mound. The Yankees and Cardinals will duke it out this afternoon with the series on the line, with former teammates Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery providing a pretty juicy pitching matchup.
Cole went to the mound last Sunday with a series on the line as well, but got hit around a bit, lasting just 4.2 innings against the Rangers while yielding three runs. The right-hander had been dynamite over his previous four starts, totaling 25.1 innings with a 1.78 ERA and .551 OPS allowed.
