NEW YORK — Nestor Cortes did what Nasty Nestor does. He got outs. The Yankees' fifth starter, the quirky left-hander who baffled hitters with different deliveries and quick pitches just to try and stick with the team, has grown into one of the team’s most reliable pitchers as a starter or a reliever.
Tuesday night was no different. He dealt 4 1/3 scoreless innings against the dangerous Blue Jays lineup and the Yankees bounced back for a 4-0 win at Yankee Stadium.
Aaron Hicks, playing left field for the first time since 2017, hit his first home run and helped snap two straight losses for the Yankees (3-2).
