Leave it to Yankees’ Alex Verdugo to put unique spin on World Series bust

NEW YORK — Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes’ second World Series outing Monday night in the Bronx was a zillion times better than his first last Friday at Dodger Stadium.
Coming out the bullpen to pitch 1.2 scoreless, Nasty Nestor retired Shohei Ohtani retired again and Freddie Freeman only reached first base on a fielding error by Jazz Chisholm instead of hitting one to the moon like he did belting the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history.
