TORONTO — Gerrit Cole had a shot at perfection through five innings Wednesday night, retiring the first 15 batters he faced. Then the 16th batter tagged Cole for yet another home run, the start of …
In his penultimate start of the regular season, Cole threw 6 ¹/₃ innings and gave up three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four. In the process, he tied Ron Guidry for the Yankees’ single-season strikeout record of 248. Guidry set the record in 1978, and Cole will have a chance to break it in his regular-season finale against the Rangers next week.
But Danny Jansen broke up the perfect-game bid to lead off the sixth inning, when he drilled a slider down the middle for his 14th home run to pull the Blue Jays within 3-1. It was the 32nd home run Cole has allowed this season, a career-high that is also the second-most given up by any pitcher in the major leagues this year, trailing Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray .
It’s an unusual amount of time off, and while manager Aaron Boone said the team hasn’t gotten too deep into roster decisions, the Yankees have begun planning out how they intend to use that time. They will have simulated games at Yankee Stadium, with minor leaguers throwing live batting practice.
