Sunday’s game time temperature was reported as 97 degrees. That combination of heat paired with the left arm of “Nasty” Nestor Cortes made the Baltimore bats wilt in a 6-0 loss to the New York Yankees.
Aaron Judge’s third inning 456 ft. homerun over the much maligned reconfigured left field wall at OPACY, his third homerun of the series, surely changed his opinion of the Ballpark.
Cortes, who spent a part of 2018 in Baltimore (4 games, 4.2 IP, 0-0 record, 7.71 ERA), held the Orioles to 6 hits over 6.0 innings and struck out 7 as well.
Adley Rutschman went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk.
Tyler Nevin went 2 for 4.
Dean Kremer (3-2) allowed 4 runs on 5 hits, including Judge’s homerun, while walking 1, striking out 6 and hitting a batter over 5.1 innings.
2022 Record: 47-48
Next Game: 7/25 vs Tampa Bay @ 7:05 pm
