Gerrit Cole Gives Up Two Homers in Loss to Boston

2026-06-29 · Gerrit Cole · Match Report

Gerrit Cole gave up two homers in a loss to Boston on June 27. He fell to 2-2 with the loss.

What happened?

Gerrit Cole allowed nine hits, walked one, and struck out five. He gave up his first run on a Kevin McGonigle RBI groundout.

Why it matters for Gerrit Cole

The loss is a setback for Cole, who has a 3.62 ERA. He's lined up to face the Red Sox on the road this weekend.

What comes next?

Yankees manager Aaron Boone downplayed any concern regarding Gerrit Cole's health, stating that they merely want to give everyone in the rotation an extra day of rest. Cole will get the ball for Monday's series opener against Detroit.

Gerrit Cole threw 83 pitches to get his 12 outs, which was probably why he didn’t come out for the fifth. His velocity was great, averaging 97.6 mph with his fastball and peaking at 100.0.

The Yankees are off Thursday and Monday, so Cole figures to make his next start next Tuesday against the White Sox. Cole was charged with four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two.

Gerrit Cole was utterly dominant facing just three batters over the minimum and forcing 15 swings-and-misses. He got some help from his defense too when Aaron Judge threw a strike to nail Michael Massey at home plate.

The 35-year-old veteran will get the ball for Monday's series opener against Detroit. Cole has a bright future ahead of him, but he'll look to get back on track next time out in the same matchup against the Guardians, but this time in Cleveland.
