The New York Yankees tossed out Gerrit Cole in a start against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Cole came in with a 2.33 ERA and got absolutely wrecked early on against the Red Sox.

Cole gave up four runs in the bottom of the first inning thanks to a three-run homer by Rafael Devers and a solo shot by Kike Hernandez.

Cole has been dominant all season long but has given up six runs through five innings. The first inning was not his friend, and he proceeded to give up a pair of runs in the third.

Everybody is due for a bad outing every once in a while and Cole just happened to get tagged at Fenway Park against the rival Red Sox.

The Yankees went into the sixth inning with a 6-0 deficit and Cole's line after five was eight hits, six runs (five earned), and a pair of walks, and his ERA has ballooned up to 2.66.

The Yankees are four games over .500 but are six games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the American League East and the Red Sox are just half a game back.

Not a good day for Cole, and he will toss this one out and prepare for his next outing in a few days as the Yankees look to get back on track.
