Sporting News on MSNYankees manager responds to shaky debut from new closer: ‘Very uncomfortable'New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone admitted he was uncomfortable with Devin Williams' debut as he had a shaky appearance to get the save.
The New York Yankees hit home runs on each of the first three pitches Cortes threw to them in the first inning of Saturday afternoon’s game at Yankee Stadium. First, it was Paul Goldschmidt. Then it was Cody Bellinger. Then Aaron Judge.
