Nestor Cortes’ latest home gem wasted by Yankees
NY Post
Nestor Cortes seems to thrive on home turf.
Despite the disastrous ending to Friday night’s series opener, a 5-3 loss to the Red Sox in 10 innings at Yankee Stadium, it was a solid outing for the Yankees starting pitcher.
Cortes pitched six innings, allowing just three hits — one a solo homer — and one walk.
He struck out eight batters and lowered his ERA to 3.41.
The left-hander is clearly much more comfortable at home.
“I love to pitch here [Yankee Stadium],” Cortes said after the game. “I love to compete. I know the splits aren’t exactly what I want them to be, but it feels like every time I’m here, there’s that extra atmosphere that goes into my game and I perform.”
