It’s just like we were just a step behind.”Ĭole and Higashioka both said they felt they had the right plan coming into the game, but it ultimately proved wrong. “Aggressive pitches just outside the zone weren’t getting flinches and then having to come in the zone, they were anticipating us being in the zone. “We know they’re a relatively patient team and they pick their spots to swing,” Cole said. Three batters later, after a visit from pitching coach Matt Blake and a Bronx cheer following the first out, former Mets prospect Jarred Kelenic roped a changeup for a two-run home run that put the Mariners up 6-0.

Kyle Higashioka put a slight blemish on his final line, cracking a two-run homer on Castillo’s 109th and final pitch of the day to get the Yankees within 7-3 in the seventh inning. Making his Mariners debut, Castillo largely cruised, striking out eight over 6 ²/₃ innings.

Wednesday marked the second straight start in which Cole was rocked in one big inning. The Yankees (70-36) dropped the series and lost for the third time in their past four games before heading out on a nine-game road trip that will begin Friday in St. Seattle tagged Gerrit Cole for three home runs in the first inning before the newest Mariner, Luis Castillo, took care of the rest, sending the Yankees to a 7-3 loss on Wednesday afternoon in The Bronx.
