Another inconsistent outing for Cortes
Missed the first inning of the game, but innings two and three consisted of a lot of pitches, some sharply hit grounders/liners, a deep flyout and a Ryan Harvey HR. It looked like Cortes was throwing up in the zone.
The fourth inning was easily his best. Cortes threw a high percentage of off-speed pitches down or below the zone for swinging strikes and K'd the side 1-2-3.
The fifth inning consisted of a walk and very weak single to the right side when the second basemen went to cover the bag on a hit-and-run.
The sixth inning was a struggle as Cortes walked the bases loaded with two outs and was lifted for Chris Hayes. Cortes was visibly frustrated and when he got to the dugout, slammed his glove and hat into the bench.
When I was able to check, the stadium reading had his fastball anywhere from 89-92 mph and off-speed anywhere from 75-80.

Of course Hayes
got out of the jam and pitched another scoreless inning. Lowering his ERA to 0.74
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
