Ben Rice hits 39th homer, Cole becomes winningest No. 1 draft pick as Yanks cruise past D-backs 9-2
Ben Rice hit his 39th homer, and Gerrit Cole became the winningest No. 1 draft pick with his 153rd career win, the Yankees said.
- On Friday in Phoenix, the New York Yankees defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-2 behind home runs from Ben Rice and George Lombard Jr., scoring five runs in the first inning to take control early.
- Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole earned his 162nd career win, allowing two runs and four hits over six innings; selected first by Pittsburgh in 2011, Cole surpassed Mike Moore as the winningest number one overall draft pick.
- Ben Rice hit his 39th homer of the season, while Diamondbacks pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez allowed seven runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings, requiring 45 pitches just to escape the first inning.
- New York currently trails the Tampa Bay Rays by four games in the AL East, with a three-game series starting Tuesday at Yankee Stadium; the Yankees will place three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge on the injured list Saturday with a right calf strain.
- Arizona's postseason chances are rapidly fading after three consecutive losses; the Diamondbacks sit five games behind the final NL wild-card spot with only eight games remaining in the season.
