On Tuesday night, Gerrit Cole made some history with a personal accolade, but the rest of his outing was hardly enjoyable at least until his teammates rallied late.
After becoming the third fastest to reach 2,000 career strikeouts, Cole hopes to halt a six-game winless skid and revert to his dominance from the first month of the season Sunday afternoon when the New York Yankees host the San Diego Padres.
Cole was in line for the loss after reaching 2,000 strikeouts in his 278th career game. The only players to reach the milestone faster were Randy Johnson, who reached it in his 262nd game, and Clayton Kershaw in his 277th game. Cole avoided the loss when Aaron Judge hit a tying homer in the ninth and rookie Anthony Volpe hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th.
The Padres will attempt to get to Cole after mustering one hit against Luis Severino and three hits overall Saturday. Fernando Tatis Jr. homered for the second straight game and Juan Soto reached based twice but the Padres were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position and dropped to 3-9 in one-run games.
