Nestor

When Nestor moved into Orchard Hills five months before, the neighborhood’s fire plan, which Irvine Co. touts on its website, was a factor for moving in.

Gibson hit his homer off future Hall of Fame reliever Dennis Eckersley and the heavily favored Oakland Athletics while Freeman hit his homer off demoted starter Nestor Cortes and the underdog New York Yankees.

It sure sounded like it Friday night, the ball blasting off Freeman’s bat in the 10th inning against New York Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes as if it were a pack of firecrackers.

New York starter Nestor Cortes, who was briefly a Mariner back in 2020, pitched five scoreless innings, allowing three hits with three walks and six strikeouts.

When the Mariners face lefty Nestor Cortes on Wednesday, it’s likely that Raley and Canzone will both be out of the lineup with Moore in left field and Haniger in right field.
