“#Gerrit Cole backs up gem vs. Astros with another strong outing<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

One week later, those 129 pitches he threw against the Astros don\u2019t seem to have worn Gerrit Cole down.<\/p>\n

Instead of being limited, Cole built off that dominant performance. Cole shut down the Red Sox over six impressive innings Saturday night as the Yankees snapp<\/a>ed their season-long drought against their bitter rivals.<\/p>\n

Cole struck out 11 and allowed just one run on five hits, and the Yankees\u2019 injury-riddled offense did enough in a 3-1, rain-shortened six-inning victory at the Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe leaned on a little bit of everything,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said.<\/p>\n

Cole, who hurled a complete-game<\/a> shutout exactly a week earlier in Houston, has begun to shake off his issues in the wake of the sticky-substances drama. After pitching to a 4.65 ERA in June and getting hit around by the Mets in his first start of July, he has now allowed just one earned run over two brilliant starts against two of the better offensive teams in the American League.<\/p>\n

He has fanned 23 and allowed just eight hits over his last 15 innings. He had his way Saturday with the two best Red Sox hitters, J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers, striking them out a combined five times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess when we needed to, we made a good pitch,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just so happened against the meat of the order.\u201d<\/p>\n
