Republic League Selects #1 Starter in July
Tuesday, August 1st, 2158:
Júlio Cortés took home the Republic League Pitcher of the Month honors in July. After all these years playing ball, the 36-year-old veteran still enjoys the game as though he'd just broken camp for the first time a month ago. He's a bit older now with a few more aches and pains, but the old man has reason to celebrate, having gone 4-0 for
Toronto last month and claiming the Pitcher of the Month award.
He tacked up a 1.77 ERA in his 6 starts, tossing 40.2 innings and striking out 24.
This season in 21 starts
Júlio Cortés has a record of 10-4 with 88 strikeouts in 136 innings and a 3.64 ERA.
