Yankees' Gerrit Cole ERA At Fenway Jumps To 7 After Red Sox Beat Down originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole's perfect game bid lasted all of two pitches on Saturday afternoon before Boston Red Sox leadoff hitter Masataka Yoshida deposited a lazy 93-mile-an-hour fastball down the middle into Boston's bullpen.
Yoshida is no slugger. It was only the 5-foot-8 ***** anese native's second home run of the season, and sixth since 2024. But hey, that's Gerrit Cole at Fenway Park for you.
The next inning, he gave Triple-A call-up Anthony Seigler his first career home run. The inning after that, the entire Red Sox lineup ate with back-to-back singles from Yoshida and Ceddanne Rafaela coming to roost after Willson Contereas doubled to the deepest part of the ballpark.
It was another loss for Cole at Fenway, which has hilariously become his Yankees' legacy.
