It’s another disappointing post season exit for Yankees and Aaron Boone. Gerrit Cole strong pitching performance went in vain, Once again Yankees bats gone cold at the big stage, they have registered only 3 hits (Judge, Hicks and Torres) in 29 at bats.
Cole had another strong outing but their batting failed to back-up , Californian Native pitched 5.1 innings and allowed 1 hit,1 run,1 home run, walked 2 batters and struck out 9.
