“#Yankees need this Gerrit Cole start to be just a blip on the radar<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n ATLANTA \u2014 The streak, low-calorie as it was, really couldn\u2019t have picked a worse time to stop. Because the Yankees really needed Gerrit Cole to serve his role as stopper on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Alas, Cole\u2019s first regular-season loss in more than a year didn\u2019t really condemn him as much as it reminded us that pitcher wins and losses are team wins and losses. And the Yankees, as a team, sure as heck didn\u2019t deserve to win their return to action.<\/p>\n

The final score was Braves 5, Yankees 1 at Truist Park, the opener of this doubleheader and the Yankees\u2019 first competition in six days, and it really didn\u2019t feel that close. Ian Anderson, the third-overall choice of the 2016 amateur draft and an Albany-area native, registered one heck of a big-league debut, holding the Yankees hitless until Luke Voit poked a sixth-inning, one-out solo homer \u2014 his fifth consecutive day going deep \u2014 then recorded two more outs to make mincemeat out of the Yankees\u2019 diminished lineup.<\/p>\n

And with Cole, the first-overall choice of the 2011 amateur draft, allowing three homers and four runs in the first three innings (the Braves scored a garbage-time run in the sixth), this proved the wrong contest to embolden a newbie. <\/p>\n

The Yankees\u2019 season-worst losing streak extended to five game<\/a>s after falling 2-1, and seeing Aaron Judge exit early in his first game of the injured list.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely went out there with the mentality to set the tone for the day,\u201d Cole said. \u201cI definitely would\u2019ve liked to step up today but just didn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of pitches back, and it\u2019s very much a dominant outing,\u201d Aaron Boone said of his ace.<\/p>\n

Well, sure. Two of Cole\u2019s pitches \u2014 a first-inning fastball to Braves leadoff man Ronald Acuna Jr. (473 feet) and a third-inning curveball to Marcell Ozuna (469 feet) \u2014 travel<\/a>ed a total of 942 feet. Those both went a long way for a solo run, and two batters before Ozuna\u2019s blast to center field, shortstop Dansby Swanson (a first-overall pick like Cole, in 2015) went the other way on a slider for a two-run dinger. Boone\u2019s supportive comments carried some support in the nine strikeouts against two walks that Cole registered over his five-plus innings of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed to be a little bit feast or famine,\u201d said Cole, who credited the Braves\u2019 hitters for outthinking him and his batterymate Gary Sanchez, exhibiting patience when he anticipated aggressiveness and vice versa.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not stringing hits together typically against great pitchers. You\u2019ve got to take advantage of when you do get a mistake,\u201d said Boone, repeating the logic he offers whenever folks accuse the Yankees of relying too much on home runs. \u201cOne thing good teams like Atlanta that can swing the bats, when you\u2019re facing an ace and a pitcher the caliber like Cole, you\u2019re a little more inclined to sell out some things and look in particular areas, because you know you\u2019re typically not going to get three to four hits in an inning. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to control the zone, and when you do get a pitch you can do some damage with, you can\u2019t miss it. They did a good job with that today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hence they halted the streak that generated much attention, old-school as it might have been. The right-hander had won 20 consecutive decisions over a stretch of 28 starts, his most recent regular-season loss coming on May 22, 2019. Amidst that, he lost Game 1 of last year\u2019s World Series<\/a> while winning his other four postseason starts.<\/p>\n

In his past 34 starts, counting both the regular season and playoffs, Cole has allowed five runs just twice \u2014 the two times he lost. Quite a run, one he\u2019ll try to pick up in his next start, a big one, opening a series Monday night against the rival Rays.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to make as big an impact as I can each time I get the ball,\u201d Cole said. \u201cThat mindset doesn\u2019t change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The results had best revert to normal, to what he exhibited during his streak, for the Yankees to be their best.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
