4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (0-1) gave up one run while striking out 11 across 6 1/3 innings Saturday against the Twins. Burnes might have started the season with a loss, but he delivered an exceptional effort on the mound with 11 strikeouts and only giving up a run through a Byron Buxton homer in the top of the seventh inning. The 11 strikeouts are tied for his second-best career mark. His next start is scheduled for April 8 on the road against the Cardinals. Burnes is coming off a breakout season, and his first start in 2021 was dominant. He's a strong SP2 heading into the matchup against the Cardinals.--James Stokke
