The Yankees are transferring on within the playoffs — and their ace performed an enormous function in that.
Gerrit Cole allowed one run over seven innings, working round six hits to assist the Yankees to a 3-1 Sport 4 win over the Royals on Thursday evening in Kansas Metropolis, propelling the Bronx Bombers into the ALCS.
The seven frames matched the longest he’s ever gone right into a playoff begin for the Yankees.
The bats helped him out instantly, after Gleyber Torres began the evening with a double earlier than Juan Soto drove him in a single batter later with a single.
Torres and Giancarlo Stanton drove within the different two runs with singles within the third and fifth, respectively.
Clay Holmes shut down the door within the eighth earlier than Luke Weaver locked up an ALCS spot with a scoreless ninth.
The Yankees now await the winner of the Guardians-Tigers sequence, which is now going to a Sport 5.
