 Five strong innings at a huge well strikeouts. What allowed you to be so successful on the mound this afternoon? Early on, I was having a little trouble with gripping the ball. The wind and how dry it was out there. And once it started heating up and the wind calmed down a little bit, I was able to get a grip. And after I want to say the third inning, I was on a roll commanding every pitch for strikes and putting away hitters early. What was the difference with your cutter this afternoon? I was able to command it to the both sides of the play. I think hitters off me are expecting inside cutters on me, and I was able to manage that outer rail with the cutter back-doring it a little bit. What's the feeling like when you're on the mound and you're having your way with the other lineup to the tune of 12 strikeouts? Yeah, I mean, it's fun to be out there, obviously, every single time. And when you're on a roll like that, it just makes just a little sweeter. It's unfortunate we didn't come out with W today, but it is what it is. What was your tank there when they took you out? I was getting there. I felt like my body felt strong still. I was able to keep competing, but obviously, we all know the pitch count was up there. Did you realize you had thrown in a maculodinic? Yes, kind of like towards the eighth pitch, leading into the ninth, I knew I had thrown only eight pitches. And I wasn't looking for it, but hopefully, I was able to get it done. You ever going to let Higgy forget that he didn't seem to realize it? Yeah, I mean, it's heat of the moment. He threw the ball up, but thankfully, we got it back. Does it get frustrating when you're putting up zero after zero and you look in the scoreboard and you guys haven't been able to push anything across? I mean, as a pitcher, yeah, it's kind of frustrating. But at the same time, I could easily be on the other side of the baseball and give up five, give up six, and our offense be there that day. So these hitters come out every day and do their job and try and get as many hits as possible. You know, today just wasn't the day. Well, he's already just made two starts a season, Jack, but it's been repeated often. This is no fluke. Nestor Cortez, the career high 12 strikeouts today. First Yankee to do it, since Michael Panada back in 2015 with 12 or more strikeouts in the first five innings. And the 2.72 ERA, his last 16 starts since 2021. He's doing nothing so far this year, but throw up zeros.
