Yankees’ Cole no-hitting Rays thru 7 innings, NY leads 2-0

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole has no-hit the Tampa Bay Rays through seven innings, and New York leads 2-0. The 31-year-old right-hander has struck out 12 and walked three, throwing  66 of 103 pitches for strikes at Tropicana Field. 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 singled. There have been two no-hitters so far this season, with five New York Mets pitches combining against Philadelphia on April 29 and Reid Detmers of the Los Angeles Angels accomplishing the feat against the Rays on May 10.
