Bounces back in no-decision Cortes allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out four across seven innings Thursday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision. Impact Cortes didn't have an impressive strikeout total, but he effectively limited hard contact and did not allow an extra-base hit. Entering Thursday's start, Cortes had allowed four earned runs in three of his last six starts and maintained a 5.34 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in that span, so the bounceback effort was a welcome sight. Despite his recent struggles, Cortes still features a 2.63 ERA and 99:22 K:BB across 95.2 frames on the season.
