Gives up three homers in loss Cortes (6-3) gave up four earned runs on six hits while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take his third loss of the season in a 5-4 defeat to the Rays on Tuesday.

Impact The Rays took Cortes deep for three solo shots and chased him from the game in the fifth inning after only 63 pitches. Cortes was responsible for a runner on base who came in to score when Isaac Paredes hit his third home run of the game off Clarke Schmidt later that inning. Cortes entered the season as a late-round sleeper pick and has far exceeded his ADP so far in 2022. Even with Tuesday's loss, Cortes boasts a 2.31 ERA which is tied for fourth in the majors, along with a 0.96 WHIP. Look for Cortes to start next Sunday at home against the Astros.

Earns sixth win with solid outing Cortes (6-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 5.1 innings against the Rays. He struck out four.

Impact Cortes allowed a baserunner in each of the first three innings but eventually settled down and retired eight straight Rays before giving up a leadoff double to Yandy Diaz in the top of the sixth. After getting the ensuing batter -- Harold Ramirez -- to pop out in foul territory, Cortes allowed his first run of the game on an RBI double to Manuel Margot. The left-hander appeared flustered as he proceeded to walk Randy Arozarena on four pitches before being replaced by Wandy Peralta, who retired back-to-back hitters to escape the inning. Across 12 starts and 69.2 innings, Cortes sports a 1.94 ERA with a 75:17 K:BB and has five victories in his last six trips to the mound. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Monday's rematch in Tampa Bay.

Struggles against Twins Cortes (5-2) got the loss Wednesday after he pitched 4.1 innings, surrendering four runs on seven hits while striking out three against the Twins.

Impact The Twins got to Cortes for two runs in the bottom of the fourth frame before launching two solo homers in the next inning. The four runs given up were his highest total of the season while the loss snaps a four-start win streak for the 27-year-old. Cortes still owns an incredible 1.96 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 71 strikeouts over 64.1 innings in 11 outings this season. He'll look to rebound in his next start, which tentatively lines up for him to take on the Rays on Tuesday.
