Gerrit Cole completed his first rehab start in Friday's Double-A game between the Yankees' Somerset Patriots and the Philadelphia Phillies' Reading Fightin Phils.
New York's ace RHP threw 44 pitches (36 strikes), allowed three runs on as many hits (one home run) while striking out three and walking one in 4.1 IP.
Still working with an overhead windup, Cole (Tommy John surgery recovery) delivered a perfect first inning with a strikeout sandwiched between two groundouts.
The Patriots' five-run first inning gave Cole a lead to pitch with in the second.
The inning, however, saw Cole work into trouble after Raylin Heredia's one-out walk and, two batters later, Dylan Campbell's two-out double.
Bryson Ware's two-run homer followed before Cole's struck out Cade Fergus to end the frame.
Cole rebounded in the third inning with a perfect frame, throwing four pitches and getting three groundouts.
The fourth saw Cole allow a one-out single to Heredia before Alex Binelas' 3-6-3 double play to end the inning.
After Campbell's leadoff groundout, RHP Andrew Landry replaced Cole with one out in the fifth inning.
