The New York Yankees used a great job by Cuban pitcher Néstor Cortés and the power of Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge to defeat Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels 6-1 in the first of the double bill that both had scheduled for this Thursday.
Néstor Cortés dazzled during seven innings in which he only allowed five shutouts, struck out seven rivals and gave away two walks, thus achieving his fifth victory of the season and lowering his ERA to 1 .50 to continue being the best pitcher of the ninth New York.
The work of the Cuban southpaw was supported by the power of Matt Carpenter, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu, who hit a home run each, of which the first three were against Shohei Ohtani.
For its part, the current Japanese American League Most Valuable Player, was punished with just three innings, in which he allowed eight hits, four earned runs, struck out two opponents and gave away a walk.
Judge has become the terror of Ohtani, in the last two days, is that after Wednesday he stole a home run in the RF with a great catch, today he hit his number one hit 19 of the campaign to expand its leadership in this area.
