Cortes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Minnesota.
Cortes supplied the game's first runs, taking Taj Bradley deep with two outs in the second inning after Alika Williams doubled. The blast proved particularly important with Gage Jump keeping Minnesota off the board until the seventh. Cortes has now gone deep eight times this season, while Tuesday's performance raised his batting average to .258 and his OPS to .739.
