New York Yankees Starter Has Spectacular Outing On May 23

Gil made his debut with the New York Yankees in 2021. His spot in the rotation came to fruition once Starting Pitcher Gerrit Cole started experiencing elbow problems in Spring Training. Gil won the final spot in the rotation and has made the most of his golden opportunity.

New York Yankees Manager Aaron Boone commented before today’s game about how he will handle working Cole into the starting rotation once he is cleared to return:

“It’s three, four, five, six weeks away. If at that point, we’re in this position, then that’s a good thing. We’ll do what we have to do. … In the baseball calendar, that’s still light years away.” Gil has a career record of 7-2 with an ERA of 2.92.

New York Yankees Big Bats Powered Them To Victory On Thursday

The New York Yankees are the best home run hitting team in the league and they hit two home runs in Thursday’s win. Center Fielder Aaron Judge and Designated Hitter Giancarlo Stanton both hit solo shots in the game. New York’s offense came alive in the final two games of this four-game set as they salvaged a series split against the American League west-leading Seattle Mariners.

Yankees Bullpen Following Up Strong Start By Gil

Following a masterful start from Gil, three relievers came in to complete the three-hit shutout of Seattle. Closer Clay Holmes continued his masterful year as he recorded a four-out save and escaped a bases-loaded jam he inherited from the previous two Yankees relief pitchers that appeared in the eighth inning, Victor Gonzalez and Nick Burdi. Holmes is now second in the league with 14 saves. New York holds the best record in the American League and the second-best record in all of Major League Baseball.

When Will Gil Take The Mound Next?

Luis Gil’s next scheduled start is on Wednesday, March 29, 2024, on the road against when the New York Yankees visit the Los Angeles Angels.
