Cortes (6-10) allowed three hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

Cortes had given up at least three runs in each of his five previous starts, but a matchup with the Pale Hose proved to be just what he needed to have a good outing. The nine strikeouts matched his season high, and this was the first time since June 23 that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Cortes is now at a 4.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 133:29 K:BB through 141.1 innings over 25 starts this season. He'll look to build off this start in his next outing, which is tentatively expected to be at home versus the Guardians.
