Game two of the four-game set between the Yankees and Red Sox at Fenway continues this evening (7:10 p.m. ET, NESN, Amazon Prime). The Yankees took the opener on Thursday, 6-5.
The Yankees (60-23, 1st AL East) send left-hander Nestor Cortes to the mound, who enters the game with a 7-3 record, 2.44 ERA, and 0.95 WHIP in 15 starts this season. Cortes is 5th in the league ERA, 3rd in WHIP, and 7th in K/9. His mustache rivals Dylan Cease and Spencer Strider for top three in the game, as well. After missing last night’s game with lower-body soreness, Aaron Judge returns to hit second in the lineup.
