Corbin Burnes faced his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers, on Sunday as the Baltimore Orioles’ new ace. The game started off with Burnes allowing a home run to the first batter, William Contreras, followed by a double from Rhys Hoskins. Despite this rocky start, Burnes managed to strike out five batters and pitch out of several tough situations, including a throwing error that led to an unearned run.
The Brewers, who had been on a scoring spree in previous games, couldn’t produce a big inning against Burnes. They tied the game, but couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities to take the lead. Burnes, who was traded to the Orioles in the offseason, faced his former team with determination and resilience.
In the fourth inning, Burnes found himself in another tough spot after allowing a single and a walk. A fielding error by Burnes resulted in a run scoring and runners advancing to second and third base. However, Burnes managed to escape further damage with a popup and two strikeouts.
Despite his struggles, Burnes kept the Orioles close in the game, allowing only three runs over five innings. He left the game after throwing 98 pitches, giving his team a chance to come back and secure the win. The Orioles ultimately emerged victorious, thanks in part to Burnes’ efforts on the mound.
Overall, Burnes’ performance against his former team showcased his resilience and determination, proving that he is a valuable asset to the Orioles’ pitching rotation.
