I don’t usually put a photo of a Cubs opponent at the top of a game recap, but Brewers starter Corbin Burnes was the top story from Wednesday’s 10-0 Cubs loss to Milwaukee, the Cubs’ seventh straight defeat, so it seemed appropriate for the biggest story of the game.
I’ll get to some Cubs-related things in a moment, but first, let’s talk about Burnes striking out 10 consecutive Cubs from the second inning through the top of the fifth, tying a major-league record.
This had been done just twice prior to Wednesday at Wrigley Field.
