With back-to-back wins, the New York Yankees have picked up some momentum at a great time. They are second in the AL East with 12 wins and 7 losses. Most recently, a Yankees pitcher was seen at the Brooklyn Nets’ playoff game shortly after he won a big game. This caused fans to react to the moment.

With pitchers such as Carlos Rodon and Tommy Kahnle injured, the Bronx Bombers lack pitching depth in their roster at the moment. But their bullpen has played well, allowing opposing teams to score 5 or more runs only 4 times this season. And in the absence of key pitchers, Nestor Cortes Jr. has taken the pitching responsibility on his shoulders. Recently, after helping the Yanks take the series against the LA Angels, Nestor was seen enjoying the Nets’ game.

Nestor Cortes Jr. went to see the Nets play live following his latest win

The New York Yankees won their latest game against the Los Angeles Angels 12-3. Starting pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. was at the center of it with his good pitching, recording a win for the game. Following his great performance, Cortes Jr. was spotted at Game 3 of the Brooklyn Nets-Philadelphia 76ers first-round playoff series. Talkin’ Yanks shared a picture of Cortes Jr. watching the game in the stands with his fiancee via Twitter. 

In a Tweet, Talkin’ Yanks said, “Nestor in the building for Sixers-Nets after picking up a W on the mound today”. This was a great way for the Yankees pitcher to celebrate his latest win. But unfortunately, the Nets lost the game and are 3-0 for the series.
