Dodgers lead series 1-0

Yankees:Aaron Boone’s decision to give the ball to Nestor Cortes with one out in the 10th inning will be dissected in every way possible. Tim Hill, the Yankees’ best left-handed reliever this postseason, has given up one earned run over five innings in seven playoff appearances. He pitched in all five ALCS games. Cortes had not pitched since September 18 due to a left forearm strain. It was a huge achievement for someone who hasn’t pitched in five weeks. Alex Verdugo’s stunning catch down the left field line into the stands brought Cortes within one out of closing the game. But Freddie Freeman, who was sitting fastball, got a fastball and ended a wild baseball game.
