Nestor Cortes Fans 12 Over Five Scoreless Innings
3 years agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes was dominant in his start against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. He pitched five innings and allowed three hits, one walk and no runs while striking out a career-high 12. He achieved the 39th immaculate inning in MLB history in the fourth inning of the game when he struck out the side with just nine pitches. Unfortunately for Cortes, the Yankees' offense was nowhere to be found in the game, leaving Cortes with a no decision. The left-hander has begun the 2022 season by throwing 9 1/3 scoreless innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his third start of the year on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians.
