This will be Cortes' first time facing his former teammates. The Brewers struggled at the plate on opening day, batting .212 with a .333 slugging percentage and leaving nine runners on base. Freddy Peralta, Milwaukee's starter, had a strong performance with 8 strikeouts and one walk, but gave up two home runs in his opening day loss.

New York Yankees Analysis

The New York Yankees had a solid opening day performance, with Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe hitting solo home runs. Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger contributed RBIs. Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon impressed with seven strikeouts in 5.1 innings. The bullpen also performed well, allowing just one run in 3.2 innings. The Yankees left six runners on base and had seven hits from seven different players. New York will have Max Fried starting on Saturday, who had a successful season with the Atlanta Braves last year. The Yankees have a power ranking of 4 and are currently undefeated at 1-0. However, Milwaukee has won their last three matchups against New York.

Yankees Look to Secure Second Consecutive Victory Against Brewers as Max Fried Shines

The New York Yankees are poised to secure their second consecutive victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Off-season addition Max Fried has demonstrated consistent success throughout his impressive 8-year career, boasting a record of 73-36 with a 3.07 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Milwaukee struggled offensively in their opening day matchup, only managing to score two runs compared to New York's four runs and two home runs. Expect big performances from Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, who have shown their ability to drive in runs from all areas of the field. Milwaukee's starting pitcher Nestor Cortes may face challenges when competing against his former teammates, potentially impacting his focus and control on the mound. New York hitters may take advantage of Cortes' emotional state and unfamiliarity pitching at Yankee Stadium in a different uniform.
