The New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 thanks to a stellar pitching performance from Gerrit Cole. Cole lasted seven and one-third innings, only gave up a run (and not on a home run), and struck out eight. He looked like the ace of the team when they needed him to be, and the Yankees snapped their four-game losing streak. On offense, Harrison Bader was back and got a single in his first at-bat, but the most important offensive performance of the night belonged to Anthony Rizzo. Sure, Billy McKinney hit the two-run jack, but Rizzo hadn’t been playing well for a month, and on Tuesday, he woke up. Is this a sign of good things to come? We discuss. Plus, Carlos Rodon pitched from a mound to actual batters in a game that counted. We talk about his performance on Tuesday night in Somerset, what to expect from him going forward, and when we should (possibly) expect him back. And we preview Wednesday’s matchup, which will most likely be Jhony Brito vs. Luis Castillo.
