The Orioles used four home runs and yet another outstanding start from Corbin Burnes to beat the Phillies 8-3, clinching a series win against the NL’s top team on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards.
The stage was set for a pitcher’s duel in this one. Burnes and Zach Wheeler took the bump for their respective teams. Each of them entered the game on fire in their recent efforts. Burnes owned a 1.15 ERA over his last six starts while Wheeler had a 1.57 ERA in his last five outings. It would have shocked no one for this to be a low-scoring affair, but the Philadelphia righty was unable to uphold his half of the deal.
