The All-Star lefty on the Yankees is back to being an empty Nestor.
Nestor Cortes twirled six shutout innings — receiving credit for the first complete game and shutout of his career — in theAaron Judge was unable to connect for his AL record-tying home run during the four-game series, but Cortes allowed only one hit to lower his ERA for the season to 2.56 over 151 innings, leaving him 11 innings shy of the necessary 162 to qualify for the American League ERA leaders, with likely two starts remaining over the Yanks’ final 10 regular-season games.
The 27-year-old Cortes has exceeded 150 innings for the first time in either the minor leagues or the majors, but he says he’s “fresh and good to go” to keep adding to that total in the postseason. He noted that between 2019 and 2020 he actually pitched year-round — including winter ball — and threw “almost 250-to-300 innings in like 18 months.”
