The Marlins/Brewers game has been exactly the gorgeous pitching battle I was hoping for.

 

5.0 IP, 9K, 0BB, 3H, 1R so far for Burnes (70 pitches).

4.0 IP, 6K, 0BB, 4H, 0R so far for Rogers (56 pitches).

 

What a duel. These kids are studs.

History alert: Burnes is 3 K's away from breaking the MLB record for most strikeouts to start a season without giving up a walk. 9K 0BB so far today.

who's record is he breaking? And how has he not already broken it? Jesus Christ.

Kenley Jansen holds the record with 51 Ks to start a season without a walk given up. Burnes is at 49 Ks. But he's just given up three hits to start the 6th and is at 83 pitches now so this is looking unlikely to be resolved tonight. Will be lucky to get out of this inning, let alone getting 3 more K's.

Burnes gave up a run and nearly tripled his ERA, lmao.

 

Edit: And he just gave up another one. Four straight hits to start the 6th. ERA up from 0.37 to 1.23. Sad.

Corbin Burnes had given up one run all season long and he just gave up a 3-spot on five straight hits without an out.

 

Pulled with 4 earned runs on the day and leaves men on 1st and 3rd that are his responsibility. That 5th run at least is almost certainly going to score considering the Marlins still have 0 outs.

 

Either way, this is the first time Burnes has given up 4 runs in a game since 2019.

Elite Orioles closer Cesar Valdez finishes the Yankees. I'm only like half joking when I say that, Valdez has been legitimately incredible since last season. It's basically a RHP version of Tommy Milone, the sinker/changeup combo has been unhittable and he doesn't walk anyone.

Most of the hits Burnes gave up in the 6th were f***y and it felt like he got BABIP'd to death. Looks like that's exactly what happened.

 

Exit velocity on the 5 straight hits Burnes gave up in the 6th:

 

86.4 mph

90.3 mph

70 mph

112.5 mph

83.5 mph

The Marlins pinch hit for Trevor Rogers, so his day is done. Not the guy I would have picked to win the duel tonight.

 

6.0IP - 7K - 0BB - 6H - 0R

 

Rogers entered the day with a 2-1 record, a 1.67 ERA and 31 K's. Finishes with a likely 3-1 record, a 1.29 ERA and 38 K's.

 

Burnes entered the day with a 2-1 record, a 0.37 ERA and 40 K's. Finishes with a likely 2-2 record, a 1.53 ERA and 49 K's.

 

If the Marlins win, Rogers will have wins against Burnes and DeGrom this year. Only 23 years old, kid might be the real deal.

Wow - I had no idea. Thanks TL.

Tanner Scott came into that game in the 8th, couldn't find the strike zone walked the bases loaded with one out in the 8th and Odor comes up batting 4th in the Yankees lineup. He strikes out swinging with one ball in the strike zone and swings at 2 balls well outside the strike zone. Like how is Odor batting 4th in the Yankees lineup. Boone should be fired. I mean, I hope he never is for the Jays sake.

I'm not sure what's more pathetic: Odor hitting 4th in their lineup, or the fact that nobody hitting lower has really been better than him, with the possible exception of Urshela.

Top 10 pitchers in the MLB by fWAR after yesterday's duel between Burnes and Rogers:

 

V1gJ1Xp.png

 

Burnes was so bonkers for most of that game that he gained 0.3 WAR despite giving up 4 earned runs.

 

Rogers also gained 0.3 and jumped from #19 on the board to #9.

 

Obviously still way too early and the sample size is way too small but Burnes is basically DeGrom so far and Rogers has been incredible for his age.

Burnes' numbers are absolutely bonkers.
