“We Have Fought Hard”- Gerrit Cole Reacts After His Heroics Lead to New York Yankees Win Over Cleveland Guardians

The New York Yankees finally seem to be getting back on track. Recently, they clean swept the Cleveland Guardians in a three-game series. Thanks to Gerrit Cole, who had a brilliant day from the mound and made sure that the Yankees, win the game against the Guardians.

The Yankees have probably been the most unpredictable MLB team this season. On their day, the Yankees will beat the teams like the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. But at times, the Yankees also tend to lose against an average side like the Baltimore Orioles.

However, this time, they did not give a single chance to the Guardians throughout the entire series. And as a result, they won three out of three games against the Guardians in the Bronx. After a very long time, the Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole had a game for the Pinstripes.

Gerrit Cole was the star player of the Yankees

The Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was at his best against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Before this game, Cole was heavily criticized for his continuous average performances in MLB. But the star pitcher slammed his critics with his brilliant outing from the mound.

Talking about his performance in the match, Cole said he felt good finishing the series on a winning note. “Just a nice day. Overall a really well-played game,” Gerrit Cole said. “A good finish to the series. We fought hard and really just put the cherry on top to complete three games. So yeah, I have a good feeling. And it was really a good day.”

While pitching against the Guardians, Cole had nine strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings. He also allowed just four hits and one walk. Fans witnessed the vintage Cole after a while. Given the season has just started, this performance was the need of the hour for Cole and the Yankees.
