Cole, the reigning Cy Young Award winner, had a strong night on the mound, holding the Royals to a single run over seven innings.

“It was a great fight,” he said in his post-match press conference. “Just a great fight.”

Cole — who signed a massive nine-year, $324 million contract with the New York Yankees in December 2019 — struck out just six times and improved to 11-6 with a career postseason ERA of 2.94.

“I’m on fire,” he said. “Had a few IPAs with the boys and popped some champagne. This is the greatest!”

The Yankees will play either the Guardians or Tigers in the ALCS starting Monday night at Yankee Stadium.

Game 5 of this ALDS is Saturday night in Cleveland.
