Gerrit Cole had a storybook ending to his heroic night on the mound, which led the Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Royals in an ALDS-clinching victory Thursday night.
The six-time MLB All-Star kissed his wife Amy Cole on the field at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City after he led the Yankees back to the ALCS, as seen in a photo she posted on her Instagram Story.
“ALCS bound,” Amy wrote, adding a champagne bottle emoji.
The couple, who met during their college days at UCLA, have been married since 2016, and have two sons, Caden Gerrit, 4, and Everett, 1.

Ashley Rodon, the wife of Yankees pitchers Carlos Rodon, shared similar photos with her husband.
The couple kissed under the lights at Kauffman Stadium, as seen in a photo Ashley posted on her Instagram.
Ashley and Amy also both shared a photo of the Yankees WAGs posing in front of the team bus.
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 battle,” he said in his postgame press conference. “Just a great battle.”
Cole — who signed massive nine-year, $324 million contract with the New York Yankees in December 2019 — yielded just six hits to improve to 11-6 with a 2.94 career postseason ERA.
“I’m fired up,” he said. “Had a couple IPAs with the boys, spraying some champagne. This is the greatest!”
The Yankees will play the Guardians or Tigers in the ALCS beginning Monday night at Yankee Stadium.
Game 5 of that ALDS will be Saturday night in Cleveland.
