When white numbers were etched onto his glove and when those digits were blacked out, Cortes still frustrated Orioles batters in a 5-3 Yankees win.
He adjusts arm slots and drops sidearm when hitters might be expecting a more over-the-top release.But the coloring on his glove does not appear to be part of the attack plan.
Cortes had an eventful first inning, which included a strikeout of Anthony Santander, who thought Cortes quick-pitched him, then he walked toward the Yankees dugout.“The fact that he came over to me and said that it was a problem kind of pissed me off,” said Cortes, who said he has pitched with the gloves since 2017. “But other than that, I didn’t have a big problem with it.”
It did not matter much. Cortes was solid through 5 ¹/₃ innings in which he allowed two runs — both scoring after he was pulled in the sixth.“I thought he was sharp,” manager Aaron Boone said of Cortes, who won his second straight start to open the season. “They’re a tough lineup. It’s a good team, and they made him work.”
