Gerrit Cole was good enough to help the Yankees win, but not good enough to feel overly optimistic about his afternoon.
The Yankees ace allowed six runs in six-plus innings mostly because his 2022 problem — surrendering too many home runs — has returned.
“Both those fastballs missed on the opposite side of the plate,” said Cole, who struck out nine and largely was untouchable when he located well. “Those hitters were ready for it.” In between the first and the seventh, Cole allowed only runs in the second inning, in which overthrows from center fielder Harrison Bader and catcher Kyle Higashioka turned a Jose Azocar single into a Little League home run. Cole sailed afterward and retired 10 straight Padres.
With a seven-run third inning, the Yankees had given Cole a 7-3 lead to work with, and he bemoaned the fact he couldn’t better stay in the strike zone.
