Boston Pink Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has had a lot success towards Gerrit Cole all through his profession that New York Yankees followers have adopted the mindset of, “Why are we even pitching to him?”
On Saturday, throughout the Yankees’ 7-1 loss, Cole determined to observe that logic.
In Devers’ first at-bat within the prime of the primary inning, Cole hit him on the second pitch. It in all probability was not intentional, however was definitely one option to keep away from having to pitch to him.
In Devers’ second at-bat within the prime of the fourth inning, Cole discovered one other option to keep away from pitching to him. He deliberately walked him, with one out, in a 1-0 sport, within the prime of the fourth inning.
