Cole is closer in age to some of the Yankees legends who were on hand for Old Timers’ Day on Saturday. Despite that, he and New York’s two rookies were the driving forces behind the Yankees against the Braves. Lombard and Jones combined for four hits, two walks, and three RBI, while Cole pitched seven strong innings to lead the Yankees past the Braves 5-4 at Yankee Stadium. Saturday afternoon showcased a pitching duel by two former Cy Young winners: Cole for the Yankees and Chris Sale for the Braves. The Yankees snapped the Braves’ streak with their comeback, walk-off win on Friday night.
