FB low in the zone for a strike
Slider low on the inner half pulled foul. 0-2
FB at the top on the inner half, not in on him enough, and Marte lines it over Cabrera and into the corner for a leadoff double.

Cutter inside, ball 1 on Alexander
Fb inside corner, fouled back, 1-1
Slider well inside, 2-1
Cutter near the bottom of the zone, hit hard up the middle to the left of 2nd, goes into center for a RBI single, 1-0 D'backs
Coney is right, Nestor's command not sharp.

Anyone that grew up in northeast Pennsylvania should remember the big car dealership, Blaise Alexander. Not related to the ballplayer.

FB low over the middle (a terrible location for Nestor against righties) and Gurriel hits a fliner to medium deep right, Soto gets there, 1 down

Cutter on the corner inside, 0-1
Fb high, 1-1 on Walker
Throw over
Flies open on the cutter, misses way high over the middle, Alexader steals 2nd, the throw gets away, but Volpe recovers to hold Alexander at 2nd.
Slider hangs high and outside, 3-1. Nestor's command way off
Slider stays up just below and outside of middle, and Walker pulls it through the left side for a single. Verdugo gets on it and holds Alexander at 3rd with 1 out.
Nestor not fooling anybody so far. exit velow are 107, 109, 97 and 104

FB inside, ball 1.
FB on the corner 1-1
Cutter up, 2-1
Leaves the cutter waist high, inner 3rd, Suarez jammed a bit, but muscles a fliner to left center for a RBI single
Walker stops at 2nd, 2-0 D'backs.
Blake goes out to try get Nestor untracked.

Backdoor slider waist high hits the corner away, Moreno can hit that.
FB outside corner, thigh high, 0-2
FB low in the zone near middle, fouled off
Fb above the zone outer half, spoiled
Cutter inside corner up in the zone, spoiled. That's closer to where he should be
FB waist high just outside of middle, served to right center for a hit, Walker scores, Suarez reads it right and gets to 3rd with 1 out.
Coney's diagnosis is right on most of these pitches, he's rushing and flying open and leaving it arm side and high

Lucky, lucky, lucky. Nestor throwing softballs on 0-2 counts. Yankees get off easy after five hits in the first inning.

Yikes, not looking good for Nestor. Getting off on a rough start.

Well, Nestor is looking awfully average... again.

Well, Nestor is looking awfully average... again. Five hits per inning better not be average. |
