Gerrit Cole fans eight Mariners in no decision Tuesday
by Luke Monaldo | Yankees Correspondent | Wed, Aug 10th 7:37am EDT
Gerrit Cole pitched seven innings, allowing no runs on four hits and no walks while striking out right in New York’s 13-inning loss in Seattle on Tuesday night.
Fantasy Impact:
Cole looked great against a Mariners team that has given him trouble in the past, including his last start, but was matched pitch for pitch by Seattle’s newly acquired starter Luis Castillo. Cole’s performance was a welcome sight for his fantasy owners who had watched him toss three clunkers in a row before Tuesday. Cole also threw his first scoreless outing since seven shutout innings against Cincinnati back on July 12 before the All-Star Break. Cole remains at 9-4 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and a Major League-leading 178 strikeouts in 138 1/3 innings across 23 starts. Cole will try a fifth time for his elusive 10th victory of the year in his next start on Monday at home against the Rays.
