Yankees starting pitcher Cortez's performance in this game was subpar
Today in the major leagues, the Yankees lost to the Twins 1:8 and missed their 8th consecutive victory, but they still maintained their leading position with a proud record of 40 wins and 16 losses. . In this game, they sent Nestor Cortes, who had an ERA of only 1.50 before the game, to start pitching, but his performance was not up to par. He allowed 4 runs and 2 home runs in 4.1 innings, finishing his first. After the second defeat, the ERA rose to 1.96, and the Yankees' line was also in trouble, with only 4 hits and 1 run scored in the game.
Yankees starting pitcher Cortez has performed amazingly this season. He has won the last four games and maintained an astonishing ERA of 1.50, becoming the new ace of the starting rotation. However, today he was out of control. In the first 3 games, he played steadily with three ups and three downs. It looked like another excellent pitch. However, in the 4th game, he was beaten by Byron Buxton, Carlos Correa, Gio Urshela, etc. The player scored consecutive hits and lost 2 points.
In the fifth inning, he continued to pitch. Unexpectedly, disaster was imminent. Catchers Ryan Jeffers (Ryan Jeffers) and Baston each fired a shot and lost 2 points. He only solved one person and was replaced. Although in this inning, he continued to pitch. The Yankees scored 1 point, but still trailed 1:4, relying on DJ LeMahieu's sacrifice fly to score. The Yankees continued to lose blood in the 6th and 7th innings, with bullpen Clarke Schmidt pitching only 1.2 innings and allowing 4 runs. The Twins relied on continuous offensive attacks from 4 to 7 innings to win the game.
In addition to the poor performance of the pitchers, the Yankees' offensive performance was miserable. The team only had hits from Josh Donaldson, Aaron Hicks, and Kyle Higashioka, and the main batter Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton all flamed out. With their pitching and hitting abnormal, the Yankees' winning streak was interrupted at 7 games. Tomorrow they will send ace starter Gerrit Cole to face the Twins.
