Yanks’ Cole loses no-hit bid in 8th, Rays’ Paredes singles

Jun 20, 2022 | 8:08 PM

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole lost his no-hit bid in the eighth inning when Tampa Bay’s Isaac Paredes led off by grounding a clean single to center field.

Paredes hit a slider that bounced off the pitcher’s mound and into the outfield on Cole’s 105th pitch Monday night at Tropicana Field.

New York led 2-0.

The 31-year-old right-hander had struck out 12 and walked three through seven innings.

This was the second time this month that Cole started out with six hitless innings. He took a perfect game into the seventh against Detroit on June 3 before Jonathan Schoop’s two-out single.
