On Friday night time, the Yankees traveled to Los Angeles to play the Dodgers in recreation 1 of the World Sequence.
The sport ultimately ended with a Freddie Freeman walk-off grand slam off Nestor Cortes.

Boone was instantly crushed for inserting Cortes, normally a beginning pitcher, in a aid function vs the Dodgers within the World Sequence.
“Aaron Boone determined to throw Nestor Cortes who hasn’t thrown a baseball in a month over Tim Hill who had been stellar all through the complete playoffs And other people ask why followers don’t like him” commented on Yankees fan on social media.
Throughout his postgame press convention, Boone defined his choice for placing Cortes into the sport.
“Simply appreciated the matchup,” Boone stated after the sport. “The fact is he’s been throwing the ball very well the previous couple of weeks as he’s gotten prepared for this. I knew with one on the market, it might be robust to double up Shohei if Tim Hill will get him on the bottom after which Mookie behind him is a troublesome matchup there. So felt convicted with Nestor in that spot.”
