Brewers starter Corbin Burnes struck out nine Blue Jays batters Saturday. All arrows are once again pointing up for Corbin Burnes. The right-hander turned in ...

"I mean, I’m not telling anyone that I’m ready to come out of the game," he said. "We were kind of all over the place with everything, then really two lazy 0-0 pitches that were hit out for homers. "About as bad as I want to get through nine," he said. And he did," said Counsell. "Where he got us in the game was so important, and it affects tomorrow’s game. So, it’ll be nice to see him back out there." "Every time – that’s my goal when I get out there. "He’s been great in the vast majority of his starts," said manager Craig Counsell. "It’s a stopper. "Early on we were able to get in the zone enough to get some outs and then second time through the order they helped me out by swinging a lot more," Burnes said. Counsell rolled with Burnes to start the eighth and after recording the first two outs, he allowed a homer to center by Bichette that left Devin Williams to begin warming up in earnest. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. followed with a double and came in to score two batters later, but Burnes limited the damage to the two runs. "I’m just going to go out and do my best to fill my role on the team and give these guys good innings and try to get a win," he said. It’s zeroes.
