Never would have anticipated Gerrit Cole having a bad outing when all the signs pointed to a Yankees' win with Cole on the mound and Aaron Hicks getting his first extra base hit of the season.
Yankees’ Aaron Hicks encouraged by first extra-base hit of 2023 against Rays
With his roster spot potentially in question in the coming days, Aaron Hicks showed signs of life Sunday.
The outfielder recorded his first extra-base hit of the season, an RBI double, which was part of a six-run lead the Yankees built up before falling to the Rays, 8-7 in 10 innings, at Tropicana Field.
“I’m feeling better at the plate,” said Hicks, who went 1-for-4 with a walk to raise his average to .143 and OPS to .374. “Been making better contact. Now it’s all about getting hits and results.”
