Cortes did not have a good first inning back at his old stomping grounds.
After winning Opening Day at home, the New York Yankees had something even better in store for its home fans for their second game of the year. New York slugged three home runs on the first three pitches they saw, jumping out to a very early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.
Before the inning was over, a fourth would be added. To make it even sweeter? The starting pitcher Saturday was Nestor Cortes, who spent the last four years pitching for the Yankees, signing with the Milwaukee Brewers over the offseason . It was the first time the Yankees hit four home runs in the first inning, according to YES Network's research that play-by-play announcer Michael Kay relayed.. He walked Pablo Reyes and Jasson Dominguez. The medical staff consulted him after the second walk. Cortes stayed in to strike out Trent Grisham for a third out., it marks the first time in Yankees history that the club belted four home runs in the first inning of a game. With eight innings left, there's still plenty of time as of this writing for the Brewers to battle back into it.Josh Wilson is the news director of the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
