Luis Gil ‘superb’ for Yankees once again in win over Angels
NY Post
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Before Luis Gil made his sixth and final start of the month, Aaron Boone called his May “superb.”
The right-hander might as well have told the Yankees manager to hold his beer.
Gil capped off a terrific month with yet another gem, completing eight innings for the first time in his career to lift the Yankees to a 2-1 win over the Angels on Wednesday night at Angel Stadium.
Needing an efficient 95 pitches to make it through eight innings, Gil allowed just two hits — one of them a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh — as well as two walks and one run while striking out nine.
With strong command of his high-90s fastball, he smashed his previous career high of 6 ¹/₃ innings.
“I don’t think anyone’s really surprised within the clubhouse or the organization,” said Anthony Volpe, who provided the winning run by hitting a triple and scoring on a throwing error in the seventh inning. “But the level he’s doing it [at] and the lineups he’s doing it against, I think we’re all just blown away. It pumps everyone up when you get the lineup and you see his name at the bottom of it.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
