Brewers' Corbin Burnes: Makes history in win

Burnes (2-1) pitched six scoreless innings Tuesday against the Padres, allowing six hits while striking out 10 to earn the win.

Burnes made history Tuesday, becoming the first starter to record 36 strikeouts without allowing a walk to start a season, per Elias Sports Bureau. There isn't anyone hotter than Burnes right now. In four starts, the 26-year-old has a stellar 0.37 ERA with 40 strikeouts and zero walks allowed in 24.1 innings. His average velocity is 97.3 mph, up from 96.0 mph in 2020.
