Nestor Cortes pitched seven shutout innings, Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 19th homer and the host New York Yankees homered three times off Shohei Ohtani in a 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels in the opener of Thursday's day-night doubleheader.
Before heavy rain resulted in an 88-minute delay after the eighth, Cortes (5-1) held the Angels to five hits and lowered the AL's second-best ERA behind Texas left-hander Martin Perez to 1.50. The crafty left-hander struck out seven, walked two and posted his 19th straight outing of allowing three runs or fewer -- one shy of the team record set by Russ Ford from Aug.
