This game kind of felt like two games in one, even though it only went eight innings due to the doubleheader rules.
The first part of this game was defined by the pitching. An absolute heavyweight fight between the best pitcher in baseball, Jacob deGrom, and Corbin Burnes, a pitcher who has been lights out in 2021. Ironically, the both pitchers got off to various types of slow starts.
deGrom served up a solo home to leadoff hiter Luis Urías, a no doubt shot that put the Brewers ahead 1-0. He got out of the rest of the inning unscathed, a sign of what was to come for (most) of his start.
