On Tuesday night, the New York Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins 2-0 in a hard-fought battle. Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole was the star of the show, throwing a two-hit shutout and striking out 10 batters.
Cole was in complete control from the start of the game, allowing only two hits and no runs. He struck out the side in the first inning and continued to dominate throughout the game. He struck out 10 batters in total, including four in the seventh inning.
The Yankees offense was able to provide just enough support for Cole to get the win. They scored two runs in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly by Aaron Judge and an RBI single by Gleyber Torres.
The Yankees have now won three straight games and are tied for first place in the American League East. Cole has been a big part of their success, as he has now thrown three consecutive quality starts. He has allowed only three runs in his last 21 innings pitched, while striking out 28 batters.
It was a great performance by Cole, and it helped the Yankees get a much-needed win. He has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, and he showed why on Tuesday night. The Yankees will look to keep their winning streak alive as they face the Twins again on Wednesday night.
