First, the good news: Gerrit Cole didn’t allow a home run in the first inning for the first time this season. Everything else? Everything else was bad.
DETROIT — First, the good news: Gerrit Cole didn’t allow a home run in the first inning for the first time this season.Cole couldn’t get out of the second inning on a frigid night in Detroit, where the game time temperature was 43 degrees with 19 mph winds, allowing two runs and five walks in just 1 ⅔ innings at Comerica Park.
During a lengthy top of the second, Cole took the unusual step of throwing pitches in front of the Yankee dugout while Detroit right-hander Will Vest was warming up on the mound. He allowed a leadoff single to Miguel Cabrera and then got Spencer Torkelson on a liner to third. Cole then went to full counts to the seventh, eighth and ninth batters in the order and walked all three.The third walk of the inning — following a visit from pitching coach Matt Blake — was to Willi Castro and forced in a run to make it 3-1.
Before the game, Aaron Boone said “Gerrit is in a good spot. After his first four hitters of the season against Boston, I feel like he’s thrown the ball well.”
