NEW YORK (AP) — Brewers pitcher Nestor Cortes had a return to Yankee Stadium to forget on Saturday.
A day later, Cortes reflected on allowing five of the Yankees’ team-record nine homers and lasting two-plus innings in a 20-9 loss.
“It’s not a good feeling,” Cortes said. “So obviously didn’t go the way I planned.”
Cortes left the ballpark after the game without speaking to reporters in what the Brewers said was a miscommunication. He was at his locker about two hours before Sunday’s series finale.
Cortes gave up homers on his first three pitches to Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge.
