**NEW YORK** – Nestor Cortes delivered a stellar performance in Game 2 of the World Series on Monday night, helping the New York Yankees gain some momentum against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cortes, pitching in relief, tossed 1.2 scoreless innings, shutting down dangerous hitters like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. Freeman, who hit a walk-off grand slam in Game 1, reached first base only on a fielding error in Game 2.
While the Yankees showed improvement, the Dodgers still hold a 2-0 series lead. Despite the loss, the Yankees will look to build on Cortes’ strong performance and try to even the series in Game 3.
