Blanks Guardians for seventh win Cortes (7-10) picked up the win Wednesday, scattering three hits over seven scoreless innings in an 8-1 victory over Cleveland. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Impact The left-hander was brilliant, tossing 68 of 104 pitches for strikes and going three up, three down in six of the seven innings he worked, with the Guardians only even getting a runner into scoring position in the fifth. The quality start was the 11th of the season for Cortes and his second straight, and his 14-innings scoreless streak has lowered his ERA on the year back down to 4.00. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Nationals.

No trouble versus White Sox Cortes (6-10) allowed three hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

Impact Cortes had given up at least three runs in each of his five previous starts, but a matchup with the Pale Hose proved to be just what he needed to have a good outing. The nine strikeouts matched his season high, and this was the first time since June 23 that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Cortes is now at a 4.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 133:29 K:BB through 141.1 innings over 25 starts this season. He'll look to build off this start in his next outing, which is tentatively expected to be at home versus the Guardians.

Knocked around in loss Cortes (5-10) took the loss against the Angels on Thursday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.

Impact Cortes gave up a modest two runs through four frames but then fell apart in the fifth.

Of the nine total hits Cortes allowed, four -- three doubles and a homer -- went for extra bases. The left-hander has struggled of late, yielding 24 earned runs over his past 23.1 frames.

Picks up fifth win Cortes (5-9) earned the win Wednesday over the Phillies, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact Cortes' name came up in trade rumors leading up to the deadline, with New York rumored to add another starter. However, the left-hander ultimately remained with the Yankees and he rewarded them with a strong outing Wednesday. Cortes held the Phillies without a hit through three innings before giving up a pair of runs in the fourth followed by a Weston Wilson solo homer in the fifth. However, the Yankees would hang on for a 6-5 victory, giving Cortes his first win since June 18 -- the left-hander had struggled to a 6.46 ERA in his previous six outings. The 29-year-old Cortes now sports a 4.16 ERA on the season with a 1.20 WHIP and 122:28 K:BB across 129.2 innings. He's currently lined up to face the Angels at home in his next outing.

Can't get through five Cortes allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a no-decision Friday against the Red Sox. He struck out five.

Impact Cortes has now failed to make it through the fifth inning in three straight starts -- he's allowed 15 runs over 13.1 innings in that span. Overall, the left-hander is 4-9 with a 4.13 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 116:26 K:BB across 22 starts this season. Cortes will look to right the ship his next time out, though he's currently in line for a tough road matchup in Philadelphia.

Allows three homers in loss Cortes (4-9) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks with one strikeout over 4.1 innings.

Impact Cortes entered Saturday with a 1.81 ERA in 10 home starts but surrendered a season-high six earned runs, including three homers across the fourth and fifth innings. The Rays have the southpaw's number this season, as he generated only five swinging strikes on 92 pitches and fell to 0-3 against them in four chances. On the year, he owns a 3.99 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 111:24 K:BB across 119.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Red Sox next week.

Drops to 4-8 Cortes (4-8) took the loss against the Rays on Thursday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 4.1 innings.

Impact A two-run homer by Randy Arozarena put Cortes behind in the first inning, but New York tied the score with solo homers in the second and third. However, the southpaw surrendered three runs in the bottom of the third frame, and the Yankees never managed to catch up. Cortes thus took his third loss across his past four outings, and he's already doubled his previous career-worst mark with eight defeats on the campaign. He hasn't been as bad as his record indicates, though, recording a 3.67 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 110:22 K:BB over 115.1 innings.

Fans eight in no-decision Cortes came away with a no-decision in Friday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

Impact The southpaw was at his baffling best, tossing 68 of 97 pitches for strikes and leaving the mound in line for his fifth win of the season. A blown save by Clay Holmes forced Cortes to settle for his ninth quality start, and he'll take a 3.41 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 106:20 K:BB through 111 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Tampa Bay.
