Gerrit Cole is dominating again, proving his worth after Tommy John surgery with three wins in his last four starts and a stellar 3.22 ERA. Despite giving up hits, he’s striking out batters and keeping games tight — crucial as the Yankees’ offense struggles. Facing the Orioles for the first time since last September, Cole’s history against them gives him an edge, and he’s determined to bounce back from his last loss. With the team counting on him, along with Fried, Schlittler, and Rodón, to carry the rotation into a potential playoff push, manager Aaron Boone is confident — so much so that they’re not even considering moving starters to the bullpen. Cole’s focus? Just competing pitch by pitch, no matter what the lineup does.
