Corbin Burns (Baltimore Orioles), who dreams of winning the Cy Young Award in the two major leagues, is off to a good start. Burns showed good pitching against the Boston Red Sox and secured his second win of the season.
Burns started the away game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston on the 10th, and led his team to a 7-1 victory by allowing two hits, two walks, six strikeouts and one run in seven innings.
Burns, who showed a tremendous pitch of one hit, 11 strikeouts and one run in six innings against the Los Angeles Angels on the 29th of last month, slowed down a little with nine hits and two runs in 5.2 innings against the Kansas City Royals on the 4th, but returned to his original form and secured his second win of the season.
Burns’ only run came in the bottom of the first inning. Two outs later, an 81.5-mile curveball thrown to Tyler O’Neill at the 2-2 ball count drove in the middle, which O’Neill connected with a big home run that flew over the Green Monster. Burns seemed to falter afterwards, giving up a hit to Triston Casas, but caught a follow-up batter to overcome the crisis.
After that, Ryu had a solid lineup. He blocked Boston’s batters by giving up only two walks until the bottom of the seventh inning. Notably, after giving up a walk to Casas, who was the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fourth inning, he ended up with 12 consecutive poor hits.
Burns’ good pitching also boosted Baltimore’s batters. Baltimore tied the game 1-1 with Colton Kouser’s timely hit at the top of the second inning with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, turning the tables with Kouser’s two-run double at the top of the fourth inning. Anthony Santander and Cedric Mullins’ timely hit added two runs to seal the victory. Kouser made two hits and four RBIs from four times at bat, and Adley Ruchman made two hits and one RBI from five times at bat.
Burns won the NL Cy Young Award for outstanding pitching with an 11-5 record with a 2.43 ERA for Milwaukee in 2021. He has since moved to Baltimore through a trade in February after playing as Milwaukee’s ace with double-digit wins for three consecutive years. And he has been racing since the beginning of the season, increasing his chances of winning the Cy Young Award for the eighth time in two major leagues ever. 밤알바
