Yankees 1, Rays 3: Scoreless streak broken, but struggles continue

In Tuesday’s game against the Rays, the Yankees got a nice overall outing from their pitching staff, only for their offense to be completely held in check. That’s been the story for a lot of the Yankees’ recent games — especially the past week in particular — and it was the case again in this one.
Today’s pitcher to get not much run support would be Nestor Cortes. After a shaky start, Cortes bounced back to put in a perfectly solid outing, allowing three runs on four hits in seven innings. It was not his best work, but in plenty of instances, it might be enough for a win.
