I guess you’d call this one a pitcher’s duel?
Michael Kopech had a terrible second inning but was strong otherwise, Nestor Cortes continued his very real All Star starter case, and while the Yankees recorded just two hits, the offensive production was enough for a 5-1 win over the White Sox on Sunday afternoon. The W marked the Yankees’ eighth series victory in a row, a streak that dates back to Easter.
The soft underbelly of Michael Kopech is his control problems, as his 11.4-percent walk rate entering play takes a bite out of his excellent stuff.
