“#Gerrit Cole makes history in Yankees’ loss to forget<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 For most of this season, Gerrit Cole has proven that he just might be capable of living up to the sky-high expectations that come along with a $324 million contract.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the right-hander proved he was human.<\/p>\n

After eight mostly brilliant outings, Cole suffered through his worst start of the year in a 5-2 loss to the Rangers.<\/p>\n

Coming off arguably his best performance, when Cole pitched eight shutout innings at Tampa Bay, he gave up a season-high five runs on Monday, while pitching a season-low five-plus innings, as his ERA jumped from 1.37 to 2.03.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, Cole was outdone by Jordan Lyles, who entered with a 6.63 ERA, which would be the worst in the majors if he\u2019d thrown enough innings to qualify.<\/p>\n

But Lyles held the Yankees to one run in six innings, as the Rangers snapp<\/a>ed a six-game<\/a> losing streak in unlikely fashion.<\/p>\n

In the Yankees\u2019 first trip<\/a> to Globe Life Field, where there is no capacity restrictions and 28,040 were on hand, they were far from sharp.<\/p>\n

They scored in the first inning for a fourth straight game.<\/p>\n

DJ LeMahieu led off the game with a base hit up the middle and Luke Voit followed with a liner to left. After Aaron Judge struck out, Gio Urshela singled to left to drive in LeMahieu and give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

But Gary Sanchez \u2014 serving as the DH \u2014 hit into an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

Cole allowed a leadoff double to Willie Calhoun, but then struck out the next three \u2014 including Joey Gallo on a 3-2 changeup to finish the inning.<\/p>\n

He fared much worse in the second.<\/p>\n

Adolis Garcia pounded an 0-2 fastball into the right-field seats for a game-tying opposite-field homer.<\/p>\n

David Dahl followed with a double to left-center and scored on Isiah Kiner-Falefa\u2019s double, the Rangers\u2019 third consecutive extra-base hit off Cole, as Texas took a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

With one out, Kiner-Falefa stole third and the Yankees brought the infield in. Jose Trevino\u2019s single to center drove in Culberson to make it 3-1.<\/p>\n

After a visit from acting pitching coach Mike Harkey, Calhoun hit a long fly ball to right field that just went foul before Cole recovered and struck him out and got Nick Solak to fly to right to end the inning.<\/p>\n

In the third, Cole walked Gallo with one out, the first walk allowed by Cole since April 12. Since then, Cole had struck out 61 batters without walking a batter until Monday. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the longest such streak in a single season since 1893.<\/p>\n

Cole stranded Gallo and Brett Gardner belted a two-out double in the top of the fourth, which just eluded a sprinting Gallo in right-center.<\/p>\n

Clint Frazier struck out looking to keep Gardner at third.<\/p>\n

Cole was hurt again on an 0-2 pitch when Calhoun homered to open the bottom of the fifth to increase the Yankees\u2019 deficit to 4-1.<\/p>\n

The Rangers added another run in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Cole went back out and allowed a single to Garcia before getting the hook after 89 pitches. He was replaced by Albert Abreu, just recalled from Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre. Garcia moved to second on a groundout and got to third on an Abreu wild pitch before scoring on the back end of a double steal.<\/p>\n

Voit\u2019s first homer brought the Yankees to within 5-2 in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Former Yankee Ian Kennedy \u2014 remember him? \u2014 closed it for the Rangers in the ninth for his 11th save of the season.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
