‘Fired up’ Gerrit Cole was ace in the hole Yankees needed in clincher

Gerrit Cole pitched like an ace again and now the Yankees are going back to the ALCS.

But he didn’t do it without a bit of drama, giving up a long Kyle Isbel fly ball to the fence in right field with two outs in the seventh that was just feet away from being a game-tying homer at Kauffman Stadium.

Juan Soto was able to haul it in to get out of the inning, and the Yankees went on to a 3-1 series-clinching win over Kansas City in Game 4 of the ALDS.

Aaron Boone admitted “my heart skipped a beat” on Isbel’s drive to the fence.

Cole let out a scream as he walked toward the dugout after it was over.
