Cortes allowed a run on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 5.2 innings versus Baltimore on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.
The southpaw pitched well enough to win, allowing just a solo home run to Trey Mancini in the sixth inning, but the Yankees' bullpen couldn't maintain a one-run lead. Cortes instead took a no-decision for the first time in his last five starts. He's allowed seven runs across his last 24 innings. Cortes owns a 2.67 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 71:21 K:BB through 67.1 innings this year. He'll try to get back in the win column next week in a tougher home matchup versus Toronto.
