4 months agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes went six innings on Friday, giving up three runs and striking out seven batters in the team's 5-4 win in extras over the Cincinnati Reds. The 28-year-old allowed just two hits, but struggled with four walks and took a no-decision. Burnes was ejected for arguing the strike zone after his final frame of work. The former ERA title holder and Cy Young award winner has a ho-hum 3.75 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 66 punchouts in 69 2/3 innings this year. Fantasy managers expected a bit greater out of the consensus No. 1 overall starting pitcher option in spring drafts. There's no need for panic, but Burnes is mostly treading water and shows a career-low 2.36 strikeouts per walk. The two-time All-Star is in search of a vintage performance and Burnes may have a decent chance at that versus the Cedric Mullins-less Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.--Joseph Barbati - RotoBaller
