This is what it was supposed to look like.
Opening a late-season series against their division rival Rays, the Yankees put together a strong offensive attack. DJ LeMahieu crushed a pair of home runs.Except instead of the end result being critical to the AL East standings and playoff chase, all the Yankees’ 6-2 win did was pull them back to four games under .500 in the basement of the division, 15 games back of the second-place Rays.
Cole, who has been the Yankees’ most consistent performer, was terrific while matching a season-high with 11 strikeouts and no walks.He gave up just three hits and only one of the runs charged to him was earned. Coming off arguably his worst start of the season last Saturday, when he gave up six runs across four innings against the Red Sox, Cole got his Cy Young chase back on track with a strong effort against the Rays .
The veteran infielder has now hit three home runs in his past three games, after hitting three home runs in his last 70 games before that. With two outs and runners on first and second, Pereira roped a single the other way to drive in a run that made it 2-0.
