Gerrit Cole, the ace pitcher of the New York Yankees, suffered a rare off-night in his return to form, allowing the Cleveland Guardians to secure a crucial win. In a game where the Yankees' usually potent offense failed to deliver, Cole's usually dominant performance was marred by a lack of control and a season-high number of walks. Despite being one of the most feared pitchers in the league, Cole looked "human" for the first time since his return from a recent stint on the injured list. As the Yankees look to bounce back from this setback, fans will be eager to see if Cole can regain his usual form and lead the team back to victory.
For the first time since his return, Gerrit Cole looked human. And the Yankees' offense couldn't bail him out in their loss to the Guardians.
