Gerrit Cole delivered his best outing of the 2024 season in the\u00a0New York Yankees’ 4-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. He struck out seven, allowing just two hits, one walk and one run over nine innings. Despite his dominant performance, Cole was not credited with a complete game.<\/p>\n

The game remained tied at 1-1 into extra innings before New York pushed across three runs in the top of the 10th, putting Cole in position for the win. However, the Yankees opted to bring in Luke Weaver for the save rather than let Cole, who had thrown 99 pitches, attempt a rare 10-inning complete game. Weaver closed it out, allowing one unearned run to secure Cole’s seventh victory of the season.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0TSN\u2019s StatsCentre, Cole is only the seventh Yankees starter since 1945 to pitch nine or more innings and earn a win without being credited with a complete game. Hall of Famer Whitey Ford accomplished this feat four times in the 1950s and early 1960s, but no Yankee had done it since Ed Figueroa on Sept. 17, 1976; the last Yankees starter to earn a win in extra innings was Tommy John in 1979, when he threw all 10 innings in a 6-5 home win against the then-Cleveland Indians.
