Yankees, Guardians Announce Starting Pitchers for Game 5

The Yankees and the Guardians will meet a day later than expected in Game 5 of the American League divisional series on Tuesday afternoon.

As it turns out, the date of the game won’t be the only significant change to take place ahead of the winner-take-all tilt.

New York announced that All-Star Nestor Cortes will start on the mound for the elimination game after just three days of rest. The left-handed Cortes started Game 2 of the ALDS and allowed two runs in five innings, throwing 92 pitches and ultimately earning a no decision.
