Rafael Devers Continues to Dominate Gerrit Cole: A Rivalry Renewed in the Yankees-Red Sox Series

Major League Baseball’s eternal rivals, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, are in a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.

The first of this string was taken by the visit with a slate of 8×3 with a great performance by its third baseman, Rafael Devers, who went 3-4 with two towed runs and another two scored.

We are almost sure that when the New Yorkers announced Gerrit Cole as the starter for Game 2, it was precisely the Dominican who was the most smiling in the cave of the red-legs and although we are not sure of his reaction, it is possible that he made a happy “face”.

You will wonder why he says that? Well, the Yankee Ace is by far the favorite pitcher of the Creole third baseman.

«story» made his presence in the batter’s box with one out on the board and after being in a 1-1 count, the Dominican took advantage of a slider at 91.2 mph to increase his numbers against the right-hander.

The infielder sounded like “Doña Blanca” and sent it to 101.9 mph with a solid drive across the middle of the field that shortstop Anthony Volpe couldn’t dominate.

As if that were not enough, at the top of the second the faces were seen again, result? Line hit to right field. Devers 2-0 Cole.
