Nestor Cortes Aaron Judge, Luke Voit led New York to 10-2 win over Minnesota in Bronx New York!

When?

Last night!

How?

Luke Voit went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs, and Aaron Judge drilled a two-run homer, helping the Yankees jump out to a big lead for a second straight night as they pounced on rookie starter Charlie Barnes.

Nestor Cortes had this to say about his outing verses Minnesota!

When you jump out like that, it's kind of refreshing to go out there and just be able to pump strikes and try and get quick outs,” Cortes said. “You want to keep the offense in attack [mode], so it's good to go out there and just throw strikes and be able to get outs.”

Aaron Boone who is New York’s manager had this to say about Nestor Cortes!

He's been great,I don't know if I necessarily envisioned him being the cornerstone right now in our rotation the way he's pitching, but you know we kind of fell in love with him in ’19, just with who he is, the way he competes and the kind of different look he gives you than most of the people you see. I think the difference between ‘19 and now is that he's a better pitcher -- better delivery, better command, crisper stuff.”

DJ Lemahieu had this to say about Nestor Cortes!

He’s fearless out there,” said DJ LeMahieu, who tacked on a two-run homer in the eighth. “Guys like that, you just love playing behind them.”
