Luis Gil flashes his Yankees potential even as command issue lingers
NY Post
CHICAGO — At least on the pitching side, the Yankees may not have a bigger wild card heading down the stretch than Luis Gil.
The reigning AL Rookie of the Year flashed more glimpses of his old self on Sunday afternoon, even while still leaving something to be desired in another solid start before the Yankees fell to the White Sox 3-2 at Rate Field.
Gil allowed a pair of runs across 5 ¹/₃ innings while striking out seven and walking two (both on four pitches).
“Still finding it a little bit,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Kind of a crafty performance where he’s trying to find his delivery, trying to be in the zone more. So he’s adding and subtracting a little bit with the fastball. Made a lot of good pitches, though, and for the most part limited the traffic.
“Hopefully we can just start to build where the command and control is there with the stuff following.”
Gil’s command has been an issue since he returned from the injured list after missing the first four months of the season with a lat strain, which is why on Sunday (and in his previous start) he came out with his velocity deliberately down before ramping it up throughout the game.
