Leave it to Nestor Cortes Jr. to tame the Blue Jays and get the Yankees back on track.
The left-hander, who emerged as an unexpected but valuable piece of the rotation last year, picked up where he left off and mowed down a dangerous lineup across 4 ¹/₃ scoreless innings.
The Blue Jays threatened in the eighth inning against Jonathan Loaisiga, with a pair of two-out singles. But Loaisiga got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to ground out to escape the jam. It looked like much of what Cortes provided the Yankees last season — when he was thrust into the rotation midseason because of injuries and COVID-19, and went on to post a 2.90 ERA. After the Yankees were in the market to add another starting pitcher in the offseason but did not, Cortes’ season debut gave hope that his strong 2021 was not just a flash in the pan.
