NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has exited his start against the Toronto Blue Jays with two outs in the fourth inning because of left hamstring tightness. Cole was pulled after allowing a sacrifice fly to Reese McGuire that gave Toronto a 3-1 lead. After the throw from center fielder Aaron Judge deflected off his glove, Cole motioned to the dugout and was checked out by trainer Tim Lentych. Cole allowed three runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings. Manager Aaron Boone said Cole was not scheduled for an MRI and it is too early to know if he would miss his next scheduled start
