It’ll be a Nestor Cortes-Bryce Miller♛ mound rematch wheꦯn the Yankees and Mariners meet Wednesday in Seattle.
Cortes pitched to a 7-3 victory in The Bronx on May 22.
But if there’s any theme to follow with 💮the Yankees southpaw this season, it♍’s the polarizing splits between his home and away numbers.
Something about the unfamiliar has affected Cortes’ command as he walks more and strikes out fewer, leading to a road ERA that’s 1.70 higher thꦛan at home.
Much like the Yankees, the Mariners are stingy s﷽wingers and therefওore have collected bases with the fourth-most walks in the majors.
From there they can steal, with three players haꦉving snagged 20-plus bases. 🉐;
Seattle’s lineup had been underwhelming in total but has made a push down the stretch: It led MLB🐓 with a .292/.🌺375/.483 slash line and an 8-3 run leading into this series.
However, the Yankees took the first game Tuesday behind strong games from Juan Soto and Aaron Judge in an 11-2 win aided by an early base-running mistake by Victor Robles.
The Mariners are within arm’s reach of a playoff spot — they’re three games behind the Twins for the final spot — because they boast MLB’s No. 1 rotation (3.54 ERA).
His multifarious arsenal of sev🦩en pitch types couldn’t fool New York in the last me♊eting, allowing for a season-high of three home runs in six innings.
