The last time Gerrit Cole had stepped atop a major league mound, he put the finishing touches on a masterpiece of a season for him personally and a disaster of a season otherwise.
Back on Sept. 27, Cole twirled a two-hitter, shutting out the Blue Jays over nine innings, in a campaign that would end four days later.

He walked off after 62 pitches to loud cheers, but silence soon followed: Ron Marinaccio entered and allowed a two-run home run to Ramón Urías that put the Yankees in a 3-1 hole.The quiet Jets minicamp moments that made Aaron Rodgers' absence so glaringCole started the season on the IL with an elbow issue.
