There’s no nice way to put it; last time out, Corbin Burnes stunk. In fact, the Orioles ace is coming off the worst start of his major league career, having allowed 10 hits, 8 ER and 2 HRs in only four innings. Tonight, Burnes has the perfect opportunity to redeem himself, as the O’s square off with the Astros in a battle of two playoff hopefuls.
It’s not only Burnes looking for a shot at redemption against Houston. The Orioles fell flat on their face the first time they faced off with the Stros back in June. Houston swept the three-game set at Minute Maid Park and outscored the Orioles 27-13.
