Nestor Cortes allowed homers on the first three pitches he threw Saturday, and things got worse from there as Milwaukee was blown out by New York.

Nestor Cortes Jr could not have had a worse start to his Brewers stint as the former Yankees ace was removed from the mound in less than two innings. A ton of damage had already been done by that point as Cortes' pitching spell accounted for 7 runs for the Yankees.

His childhood friend, catcher J.C. Escarra, made the Yankees’ Opening Day roster, capping a long journey that included playing five seasons in the minors; others in the American Association, the Atlantic League and in Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic; and even working as an Uber driver and substitute teacher.
