Nestor Cortes has had quite the week.

Not only did the Yankees southpaw enjoy a scoreless inning in yesterday’s All-Star game, but he also announced he got engaged to his longtime girlfriend.

“All Star week made 2 of my dreams come true,” Cortes wrote on Instagram. “Pitch in a all star game. And propose to my bestfriend. With my parents along my side. I had to make us official. Through ups and downs we manage to keep each other happy. I thank you for being by my side for every struggle I’ve had but also all the success. I hope there is more to come for both of us. I love you very much!”

Nestor Cortes also shared an image of the engagement on his Twitter handle.

Nestor Cortes bursted onto the scene this year, proving himself as a top-tier pitcher in the American League.

In his first half, Cortes was 7-3 with a 2.63 ERA for the MLB-best Yankees.

Sure, life probably couldn’t be better for Nestor Cortes at this moment, but he’s gotta be eyeing a World Series championship to add to his dream year.
