Yesterday represented one of the more embarrassing moments in recent history for Cubs fans. In the 6th inning of yesterday’s 7-0 loss to the Brewers, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell allowed starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to bat for himself with the bases loaded and a 5-0 lead. Burns slapped a single to plate two runs and was promptly replaced by reliever J.P. Feyereisen to start the top of the 7th.
Burnes has now driven in more runs than he’s allowed this season.
Corbin Burnes is the first pitcher with 30K and 0 walks in first 3 starts since 1906 pic.
