Corbin Burnes Strikes Out 15 Cubs In Gem On Wednesday
3 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes struck out a career-high 15 Cubs over eight scoreless innings on Wednesday in a 10-0 victory. The first-time All-Star's electrifying performance included 10 straight strikeouts, tying an MLB record, and an absurd 50 CSW on 99 pitches. The Brew Crew ace is now 7-4 with a 2.27 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 170 strikeouts across 119 innings pitched. Advanced metrics also highlight Burnes' dominance this season, as he is in the top five percent or better of the league in barrel rate, exit velocity, xBA, xSLG, wOBA, xwOBA, xwOBACON, hard-hit rate, k rate, walk rate, and xERA. The 26-year-old will look to build on his incredible season next Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
