Gerrit Cole’s 129-pitch Yankees gem likely cost him All-Star appearance
NY Post
Gerrit Cole’s 129-pitch masterpiece will likely cost him the chance to pitch in the All-Star Game.
The Yankees ace got stretched to the limit Saturday for a complete-game gem, a 1-0 win over the Astros. But it took the highest pitch count of his career, meaning he is no longer expected to throw an inning Tuesday in Denver for the American League All-Star team. “Probably after [Saturday] night, prefer to not have him go on that Tuesday,” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees closed out the first half in Houston. “I think Gerrit fully planned on pitching an inning Tuesday and I think takes that honor seriously and was looking forward to going. But after [Saturday] night, it’s probably best to keep him out of actual pitching.”More Related News
