"Although the Yankees pulled out the win back in Game 1, Cole had a shaky start to his postseason, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings. Even with an unearned run mixed in there, that wasn't vintage Cole."
"We knew that we were likely seeing a different Cole performance from Game 1. As Bob Costas mentioned a few times in the broadcast, Cole is not a difficult person to read. Cole had that resolute look in his eyes early on, a sense that he was resolute to wrap up this series last night."
"Another adjustment that Cole made was completely eliminating his slider, after the Royals hit four singles against it in the 10 times that he threw it in his last outing."
