Smith’s “choke job” first pitch Sports Illustrated | Emma Baccellieri: Gerrit Cole may be the last of a dying breed. With his eight one-run innings against the Blue Jays, he breached the 200-inning mark for the sixth time in his career, becoming just the fourth active pitcher alongside Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, and Adam Wainwright to do so. He also became the second player after...
