“#Gerrit Cole pushes Yankees’ pitching to unreal level in rout<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Yankees\u2019 starting pitchers put the team on their backs while spinning 23 straight scoreless innings through Friday.<\/p>\n

Saturday, the bats finally joined the party \u2014 and Gerrit Cole also took the pitching dominance to historic levels.<\/p>\n

Cole delivered another seven shutout innings, and Gleyber Torres led the offense once again as the Yankees breezed to their fifth straight win, 7-0, over the White Sox at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

Cole pushed the starters\u2019 scoreless streak to 30 innings and became the fourth straight starter to throw at least seven shutout frames \u2014 following Corey Kluber\u2019s no-hitter and seven-inning efforts from Domingo German and Jordan Montgomery. It marked the first time the Yankees had accomplished that feat since 1932.<\/p>\n

Justin Wilson and Luis Cessa pitched the final two innings to keep the shutout intact.<\/p>\n

Torres, meanwhile, made sure the Yankees (27-19) could breathe a little more easily than they had the past three game<\/a>s \u2014 which they won 2-0 (twice) and 2-1. After driving in both runs Friday with a homer and a walk-off single, Torres went 3-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored Saturday.<\/p>\n

In four games since his return after testing positive for COVID-19, Torres is batting .571 (8-for-14).<\/p>\n

Cole, who walked three batters for the first time this season, was mostly untouchable even without his crispest stuff. He scattered four singles while striking out seven, including his last two batters of the day on fastballs at 100 and 101 mph to strand a pair of runners in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

The Yankees\u2019 ace got some help from some slick fielding behind him, as the infield turned four double plays to help keep the White Sox (26-18) in check. Despite the traffic, Cole did not allow a runner to reach third base in his seven innings.<\/p>\n
