Houston has won 11 of its last 13 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The New York Yankees have lost three straight games and turn to Nestor Cortes, who has struggled lately. Cortes just threw 7.0 shutout innings against the lowly Chicago White Sox but had a 9.26 ERA in five starts before that. The Cleveland Guardians counter with rookie Joey Cantillo (6.23 ERA). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Toronto Blue Jays offence erupted last night, hitting four home runs en route to a 10-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
