ANAHEIM, Calif. – Gerrit Cole racked up 15 strikeouts, his highest figure in the campaign, over seven innings of excellence, for the New York Yankees to beat Los Angeles Angels 4-1 on Wednesday.
Cole leads the American League, with 14 wins this season, and the Yankees left behind a streak of four straight losses.
Aaron Judge shook his 30th toddler of the campaign, while Luke Voit connected on a two-goal single for the Yankees, who had won 13 straight engagements before getting into the bad streak.
Cole (14-6) threw the final duel of this brilliant run. In his next opening, the ace cut New York’s bad run, thanks to another performance that justifies his colossal contract.
He tolerated 4 hits and did not issue tickets. His total strikeouts were the largest since joining the Yankees.
The right to look excellent during his first opening in Orange County, where he was born, since he turned down a hefty offer from the Angelinos in the free agent market two years ago.
He then preferred to land in New York through a large, $ 324 million deal.
Packy Naughton (0-1) received six hits and three runs. He worked until the fourth inning of what was his first major league opener and his third appearance with the Angelinos, who acquired him in Cincinnati last year in an exchange for Brian Goodwin.
For the Yankees, the Venezuelan Rougned Odor 4-1 with a score.
For the Angelino, they did not beat Latin Americans.
