Following New York’s 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh in game 1 of doubleheader Wednesday manager Aaron Boone shared his thoughts on Gerrit Cole start by saying “I thought Gerrit was really good again,”“I thought [he] had everything going, both [his] slider and curveball were a factor. His changeup was good for the most part -- probably not his best one to Gonzalez. … He was efficient, had swing-and-miss going. You’d like that to be the story, of how good he was again.If we could have got it going a little more offensively, but [we] just didn’t kick it enough.”

Though,

Aaron Boone wasn’t the one to share his thoughts on Gerrit Cole’s start as Gerrit Cole himself did as well by saying It was a good step forward, for sure,”“All things considered, it’s been really good throughout the whole year. But we’re always trying to fine-tune and just keep getting a little bit better. So we’re staying on that trend.”

Though,

Gerrit Cole wasn’t the only player to share his thoughts about Gerrit Cole’s start as Ben Rice who hit 3-run home to even the game at 3-3 did as well by saying Any time your starting pitcher looks like he’s in a groove out there, it helps ease everybody up,With that being said, we’re always hoping to get as many runs as we can.”
