Cole didn't factor into the decision Monday in the Yankees' 4-2 win over the Rays, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out 12 over 7.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cole carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning before Isaac Paredes opened the frame with a single. The right-hander was lifted from the game one out later, and he lost his chance at a win after Clay Holmes allowed two runs to cross the plate as the Rays evened the score 2-2. Despite the disappointing no-decision, Cole had arguably his best outing of the campaign, racking up a season-high 12 strikeouts and inducing 19 swinging strikes. He lowered his ERA to 3.12 overall and has yielded one or zero runs in four of his past five starts.

Cole will start Monday in Tampa Bay, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luis Severino was scratched from his start Thursday with an illness and will be starting Sunday against the Blue Jays, which pushes Cole to Monday. He had been lined up for two starts this week and will instead line up for two next week, in Tampa Bay and home for the Astros.

Cole (6-1) earned the victory Tuesday over Tampa Bay, striking out seven across six scoreless innings while allowing five hits and a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Cole bounced back from last week's five-homer barrage by shutting down the Rays. He loaded the bases in the sixth but was able to pitch out of trouble by inducing a double-play ball. It was the sixth time in 12 starts that he allowed one run or fewer while pitching at least six innings. The 31-year-old has a 3.33 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 91:18 K:BB in 73 innings, very similar to his 2021 numbers.

Cole allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings against Minnesota on Thursday. However, he did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Cole had been on a roll entering Thursday, notching seven quality starts while posting a 2.02 ERA over his previous eight outings. He hardly resembled that pitcher against the Twins, surrendering three runs in each of the first and second frames before being removed after allowing a solo homer in the third. Minnesota smoked five homers off Cole -- the most he has given up in a single game in his career -- and the first three batters he faced in the contest took him deep. The right-hander's ERA jumped to 3.63 as a result of the rough start, but he was spared from taking a loss as New York's offense put up 10 runs to capture the win.

Cole (5-1) allowed two hits over seven scoreless frames Friday, striking out nine and earning a win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Cole was dominant Friday, carrying a perfect game bid into the seventh inning before allowing a pair of two-out singles to Jonathan Schoop and Miguel Cabrera. The 31-year-old righty has struck out at least nine batters in five of his last six outings, posting a terrific 54:5 K:BB with a 2.66 ERA during that stretch. Cole is now sporting a 2.78 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP through 11 starts this season. He's projected to take the mound in Minnesota next week.

Cole allowed a run on two hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts in six innings versus the Rays on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
This was Cole's third game with double-digit strikeouts, and also his third start where he's permitted multiple walks. The run he gave up came on a Randy Arozarena single in the sixth inning. Cole has logged quality starts in five of his last six outings. The Yankees' ace has a 3.12 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 72:15 K:BB across 57.2 innings in 10 starts overall. He owns a 4-1 record and will look to get back in the win column in a home start versus the Tigers next week.

Cole (4-1) allowed five runs on seven hits over eight innings Monday, striking out 11 and taking a loss against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Cole turned in an ugly final line but was mostly his usual self outside of Baltimore's four-run third inning headlined by Austin Hays' two-run single. He later coughed up a solo shot to Ramon Urias in the sixth. While his ERA jumped from 2.81 to 3.31 Monday, Cole improved his season K:BB to an impressive 62:12 through 51.2 frames, including a 35:2 K:BB over his last four starts. The 31-year-old is projected to start in Tampa Bay this weekend.

Cole (4-0) earned the win over Baltimore on Wednesday, pitching seven innings and allowing two runs on six hits while striking out five batters.
EDGE Analysis
Cole demonstrated excellent control throughout the contest, throwing 70 of 97 pitches for strikes and yielding no walks for the first time this season. He didn't fan any batters through the first three innings, struck out five straight between the fourth and fifth frames, then went the rest of his outing without another punchout. The right-hander had a 6.35 ERA through his first three outings this season but has brought that number all the way down to 2.89 with five straight quality starts. His next start is lined up to be a rematch against the Orioles -- this time in New York -- early next week.

Cole (3-0) allowed three runs on six hits and one walk over 6.1 innings Friday, striking out nine and earning a win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Cole gave up just one run on a balk through five innings of work. He then served up a two-run shot to Gavin Sheets in the sixth. The 31-year-old righty has racked up 34 strikeouts over his last 25.1 innings after beginning the season with 12 through 11.1 frames. Friday's contest was the first time he's allowed more than two runs since April 13. Cole will carry a 2.95 ERA into his projected start in Baltimore next week.

Cole allowed a run on five hits and a walk while striking out 10 in 6.1 innings during the win over the Rangers in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Although Cole had his scheduled start pushed back two days due to inclement weather, he didn't show much rust during Sunday's matinee. The right-hander posted a 6.35 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 11.1 innings over his first three starts of the season, but he's lasted at least six innings in each of his last three outings while allowing just one run during that time. Cole projects to make his next start on the road against the White Sox on Friday.
