Gerrit Cole had been waiting for the Bombers to catch up all month. The Yankees\u2019 ace dominated whatever lineup had come up against him from the start of the season, but the Bombers bats had not yet reached that level … until Friday night.<\/p>\n

Cole shut down the Tigers for six innings, striking out 12 and not walking a batter and the Yankees hit five home runs, including two from Aaron Judge, as they ran away with the series opener against Detroit 10-0 at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It was the Yankees\u2019 third win in the last five games. They closed out the first month of the season battling their way out of the basement of the American League East.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cTeams are gonna go through ups and downs throughout the season,\u201d Judge said. \u201cWe started out on kind of a downer so far here in April. That\u2019s why we play 162.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Especially you know coming back to our homestead here and opening up with 10 runs like we did… it is the way we want to start a home-stand,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe got big Cole on the mound, who\u2019s always dominant, always ready to go, always prepared. He always gets us fired up and locked in and we just responded and kept it going throughout the whole night.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It was Cole\u2019s 15th straight regular season start with at least seven strikeouts. He is the first Yankees ever to strike out 10 and not issue a walk in three consecutive starts. He has four such games this season, tying the record with Mike Mussina in 2001. Cole scattered four hits, threw 87 pitches, 61 for strikes. He had 21 swings and misses and 17 called strikes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Through six starts, Cole has pitched to a 1.43 ERA, allowed one home run and three walks. He\u2019s struckout 62 over 37.2 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI came out with a goal to try to settle in a bit earlier this year and I think I\u2019m on the right track to do that,\u201d Cole said. \u201cStill making some adjustments. Have to stay sharp in terms of counter punches and continue to find all four corners of the strike zone. But I\u2019m certainly pleased how we\u2019ve gotten off to and we\u2019ve put ourselves in a good position to continue to get stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Tigers were hit-less against him until Wilson Ramos\u2019 two-out single in the second. After that, Cole struck out six straight batters. He gave up back-to-back singles in the fourth to Jonathan Schoop and Jeimer Candelario. Cole was about to lose Ramos that inning, falling behind 3-1, when he got him to swing on a 90 mile per hour changeup and caught him looking on another to end the inning and the Tigers only threat against him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Yankees pitchers \u2014 Cole, Luis Cessa, Wandy Peralta and Lucas Luetge \u2014 combined for 18 strikeouts. That tied a franchise record for most strikeouts in a nine inning game. It\u2019s the fourth time Yankees pitchers have punched out 18, the first since Sept. 29, 2017.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And Cole had the full strength of the Bombers\u2019 offense backing him up Friday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Judge had been out of the starting lineup for two straight games with mysteriously vague \u201clower body\u201d soreness. He pinch hit in Thursday afternoon\u2019s loss to the Orioles, but was back in the starting lineup on Friday as the Yankees manager said he would be.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 29-year-old hit a solo shot in the third inning and his second career grand slam in the Yankees\u2019 five-run fourth inning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Judge and DJ LeMahieu were removed from the game in the top of the sixth inning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Clint Frazier ripped his second homer of the season in the second inning and Aaron Hicks snapped an 0-for-18 slump with his fourth home run of the season in the third. He also drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Rougned Odor finished off the fifth inning with his fourth homer of the season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gio Urshela had singled in Giancarlo Stanton, who had his third straight three-hit game, in the first inning. Stanton\u2019s three-straight, three-hit games are a career-high for him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of good at bats a lot, a lot of nice homers and great at bats across the board,\u201d Stanton said of the Yankees offense. \u201cSo of course we got a great night out of Gerri as usual. Good night, good little chill and  relax for tonight and know that we got another one that is  just as important tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
