MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees’ offense isn’t producing much these days, but their pitching staff has been impressing. In New York’s 5-0 loss against Baltimore on Sunday, Nestor Cortes hurled five scoreless frames with 12 strikeouts. One of the innings, the fourth, was immaculate: nine pitches, nine strikes, three strikeouts. “It’s fun to be out there every single time when you’re on a roll like that,” Cortés said. “It just makes it a little sweeter. It’s unfortunate we didn’t come out with the ‘W’ today.”
