The Yankees boast their most complete team in years. Their biggest X-factor in winning the title? Embattled ace Gerrit Cole.
NEW YORK — Will the real Gerrit Cole please stand up? The Cole that took the mound in the first three innings of Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox was the ace the New York Yankees need in their hunt for a championship. He blew away Boston's lineup in his first turn through the order. His fastball was electric and had excellent vertical movement. He didn't allow a hit and faced the minimum through three innings. This was the stuff of a no-hitter.
Instead, he showed the league he wasn't up for it. Which leads to another critical element of Cole's game that he's attempting to iron out in these final two weeks before the playoffs arrive: pitching deeper into games. 'I'm still trying to get into the seventh,' Cole told FOX Sports. 'We don't want to be doing something in the postseason that we haven't practiced.
