Gerrit Cole silences Tigers, Yanks win 3-0

Gerrit Cole delivered a masterclass in pitching efficiency in Friday's 3-0 victory over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact:
He tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out eight. This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat erratic season for Cole, whose ERA dropped to 4.15 and WHIP to 1.37 after this game. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.4 K/9) remains a key asset for fantasy managers, and outings like this reinforce his potential as a top-tier starter despite some earlier struggles. The improvement in his ERA and WHIP should be encouraging for those relying on him in their rotations.
