Even on nights when Gerrit Cole doesn’t have his best stuff, he’s still Gerrit Cole, and over the course of his nine-year career, that’s usually been enough.
That was the case on Friday night, when Cole went toe to toe with fellow No. 1 overall Draft pick Casey Mize in the series opener at Comerica Park. Unfortunately, the Yankees were unable to capitalize on several late-inning opportunities before falling to the Tigers, 3-2, in the 10th.
