ALDS Game 1 Player of the Game: Gerrit Cole

Gerrit Cole delivered a strong performance for the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the American League Division Series, allowing just one run over five frames. Despite yielding a solo home run to Jonathan Aranda in the third inning, Cole struck out five batters and limited the opposition to five hits and one walk while using a heavily utilized fastball and curveball mix.

The bullpen handled the remaining frames cleanly under manager Aaron Boone, though the stellar outing ultimately went unrewarded due to dominant pitching from Drew Rasmussen on the opposing side.
