Aaron Boone \'Liked Matchup\' Using Nestor Cortes 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Oct 26, 2024 6:54 pm

New York Yankees relievers Nestor Cortes and Tim Hill waited for the signal from their manager in the visitors bullpen at Dodger Stadium, tucked down the right-field line, in the 10th inning Friday night.

\"Just liked the matchup,\" Aaron Boone said when asked why he chose Cortes. \"The reality is he\'s been throwing the ball really well the last few weeks as he\'s gotten ready for this.\"

It took him one pitch to retire Shohei Ohtani, pulling the Yankees to within one out of a victory. Freddie Freeman launched Cortes\' next pitch into the right-field pavilion for a walk-off grand slam to give the Dodgers a 6-3 win.
