NEW YORK — Shohei Ohtani had a forgettable Bronx debut last season, lasting just two-thirds of an inning in what would be a come-from-behind Angels victory.
His second outing on the Stadium stage wasn’t significantly better.
And this time, thanks to more brilliance by Nestor Cortes and home runs from Matt Carpenter, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Judge, and DJ LeMahieu, there would be no Angels comeback in the Yankees' 6-1 win in the first game of Wednesday’s split doubleheader.
