Nestor Cortes pitched into the seventh inning to win his third straight start as the visiting New York Yankees beat the Washington Nationals, 5-2, on Monday night.
Gleyber Torres, Austin Wells and Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered for the Yankees, who have won five of their past six games. Anthony Volpe and Alex Verdugo had three hits each, and DJ LeMahieu had two RBIs.
Aaron Judge singled in the ninth inning for career hit No. 1,000.
Cortes (8-10) went 6 2/3 innings and extended his scoreless-innings streak to 20 before allowing a seventh-inning homer. He gave up one run on four hits, walked two and struck out five and was aided immensely by the outfield play of Verdugo and Judge. Clay Holmes pitched the ninth for his 28th save.
Juan Yepez and Jacob Young homered for the Nationals, and 22-year-old right fielder Dylan Crews, the No. 3 prospect in all of baseball according to MLB Pipeline, went 0-for-3 with a walk in his major league debut.
