Nestor Cortes had one of the lowest moments of his baseball life last October when he gave up the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history to Freddie Freeman

The game proved to be vengeance for the Padres hurler. He had been battered by the Dodgers in a previous outing, allowing a grand slam to Freddie Freeman during the 2024 World Series. At that time, Cortes was pitching for the New York Yankees.

The single by O’Hearn was the first hit allowed by Glasnow. Bogaerts was followed by Gavin Sheets, who lined out to first base. Ramon Laureano delivered a one-out, two-run single to right-center field to give the Padres a 2-0 lead.
