The Royals and Yankees played a wild one last night with New York becoming the firs team to win after blowing four saves. Maybe they have a few more blown saves in them tonight?
Journeyman left-hander Nestor Cortes, Jr. goes for the Yanks, and he has been surprisingly effective this year with a 2.15 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 37 2⁄3 innings despite a fastball that barely breaks 90 mph. The 26-year old Cuban will be making his fifth start and has yet to go more than five innings, so the Yankees may have to go early to that bullpen that blew four saves last night.
