\n BUFFALO \u2014 Ten straight wins begat two straight losses, bad ones, and surely part of you feared the Yankees were headed straight back into the tailspin from whence they came.<\/p>\n

So on Tuesday afternoon, YES\u2019 Meredith Marakovits asked Aaron Boone how his team would try to rebound, to revert back to their best selves, with less than a week to go in this COVID-shortened regular season.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou start with giving the ball to Gerrit Cole,\u201d the Yankees\u2019 manager responded.<\/p>\n

That very well might prove to be the prescript<\/a>ion to the Yankees\u2019 decade-long malaise. Just how they drew it up last winter.<\/p>\n

For the record, Tuesday night\u2019s revival at Sahlen Field started with an immedia<\/a>te jolt from the Yankees offense, before Cole even took the ball. Yet once Cole\u2019s number got called, all doubts \u2014 about this game<\/a>, about this team, about this pitcher \u2014 ceased. A 12-1 thumping of the Blue Jays displayed the Yankees\u2019 overall might, with Aaron Judge delivering three hits and Aaron Hicks driving home three runs, and showcased what the Yankees have been missing since CC Sabathia\u2019s heyday: A bona fide, October-tested ace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to it quite a bit,\u201d Cole said of his impending Yankees postseason debut Sept. 29 in the wild-card series opener.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t wait,\u201d Boone said of Cole\u2019s next start. \u201cOne of the big reasons we brought him here is to be that ace that can go up against anyone. So I\u2019m excited for him for where he\u2019s at. As his season\u2019s unfolded, I feel like he\u2019s pitching his best baseball right now. Feel like he\u2019s very much ready to go and hopefully set a good tone for us starting in the postseason.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his 12th and final outing of his initial Yankees regular season, Cole limited the potent Blue Jays lineup to a run and five hits in seven innings, walking none and striking out seven. He registered Ks using his four-seam fastball, two-seam fastball, slider and curveball as he allowed only three runners to reach scoring position, one of those being Cavan Biggio when he led off the fourth with a homer for the Jays\u2019 only run.<\/p>\n

The right-hander concluded this COVID-shortened schedule, one that reduced his big score from $324 million to $301.3 million, with a 2.84 ERA, plenty good bang for those bucks and, as Boone noted, saving his best for last, posting a crisp 1.00 ERA in his four September starts throwing to likely Game 1 battery mate Kyle Higashioka.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gave our team a chance to win more often than not,\u201d said Cole, whose August funk contributed to the Yankees\u2019 5-15 midseason plummet that preceded the 10-game winning streak. \u201cI\u2019m settled in now with the guys, with the team in the locker room, adjusting to these new protocols. It\u2019s been really good, and I\u2019m glad we were able to put together a pretty good campaign, as short as it was.\u201d<\/p>\n
