Yankees, Gerrit Cole have no excuse for foolish intentional walk
Incomprehensible. Even after Saturday's explanation, it remains unclear to the Yankees what happened with one out in the fourth inning. Gerrit Cole, dominating the Red Sox, intentionally walked Rafael Devers with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth inning. Manager Aaron Boone used the word “aggressive” multiple times to describe […]
Gerrit Cole unravels as Yankees lose to Red Sox
The brightest takeaway from Gerrit Cole's afternoon is that he likely won't have to face Rafael Devers in the postseason. When Cole pitches to the Red Sox sluggers, he loses. If Cole refuses to pitch to Devers, he loses. The Yankees ace pitched three innings Saturday before intentionally walking Devers and then collapsing in surprising, […]

Aaron Judge’s grand slam powers Yankees’ electric win over Red Sox
Austin Wells understood that moment. The Yankees catcher and cleanup hitter called a timeout before stepping up to bat to keep the party going in the Bronx a little longer. Aaron Judge had just hit a grand slam to put the Yankees ahead in no doubt, ending a 16-game streak without a home run that […]
Marcus Stroman move could be first Yankees domino to fall
They're trying to clinch the division, which would give the Yankees a 3-0 win in the opening lightning round, which is important but not necessarily crucial to their goal. Instead, with 15 games and just over two weeks remaining in the regular season, the priority for manager Aaron Boone and the team's brass should be […]
