The Score
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was effusive in his praise of Gerrit Cole after his ace had yet another incredible start.
"Even going into this year, I think he's probably been, on some level, underrated, underappreciated," Boone said following Cole's 10-strikeout performance against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. "He's great. He's a great pitcher that's, I believe, going to end up in Cooperstown one day."
Cole recorded his 23rd double-digit strikeout game Sunday, matching the Yankees' franchise record held by Ron Guidry. Cole allowed two hits and one walk in the complete-game shutout, helping improve the team's record to 10-6.
