Gerrit Cole Leads Yankees to 4-2 Victory

Gerrit Cole delivered a stellar performance for the New York Yankees, pitching a complete game in a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics, marking his first time going beyond six innings this season. Cole allowed just one run on two hits and struck out seven batters, showcasing his readiness for the postseason and helping the Yankees maintain a four-game lead in the AL East. Juan Soto contributed significantly off the bench with a crucial RBI double in the 10th inning. Meanwhile, Athletics pitcher J.T. Ginn had a solid outing, giving up only one run over five innings but ultimately did not factor into the decision. The win solidifies Cole's position as a key player for the Yankees as they approach the playoffs, with his next start likely against the Orioles. The Yankees aim to secure their division title as the regular season winds down.
