Who can forget Cole 45's final night as a member of the 'Stros? Well, he'll face off with a pitcher who no-hit his team the last time Houston was at Yankee Stadium.
Game 3 pits the former Astros star against Cristian Javier, who no-hit the Yankees with Cole starting back in June.Gerrit Cole is an overpowering force for the Houston Astros, using more than just his baseball skill to help his team.Sure, the Astros have run into Gerrit Cole at least three times already since the former Houston pitcher departed after the 2019 World Series and joined the New York Yankees.
For the 32-year-old righthander, the goal is to cut into his old team's 2-0 series lead by quieting the bats as much as possible.He may have done that on June 25 when he faced the Astros in the regular season, pitching seven quality innings and allowing just four hits and a run. But he didn't count on facing Cristian Javier, who on that day was the catalyst of a combined no-hitter in the Bronx.
Houston's manager at the time, AJ Hinch, shifted out starter Zack Greinke for Will Harris to protect a 2-1 lead despite a seventh inning home run already allowed in Game 7 of the World Series.
