In an unforgettable Game 1 of the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers overcame a 3-2 deficit with Freddie Freeman's historic walk-off grand slam. Although the New York Yankees lost, pitcher Nestor Cortes expressed lingering disappointment, believing they deserved to win. Cortes argued that the Yankees were the stronger team, noting potential opportunities that were squandered. He recently discussed moving forward after being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, acknowledging the Dodgers' victory while still holding onto the belief of a missed chance for his former team to lead the Series at one point.
"We had done enough to win that game...we were the better team. I see it that way, and I'm sure everybody in that clubhouse sees it that way."
"The reality (could have been) going back to LA leading 3-2. It didn't happen that way and they deserve all the credit in the world, they won the World Series."
