Somewhere in the second inning on March 28, Corbin Burnes found his cutter that he’d been looking for throughout spring training.
Bad news for National League batters if that’s true.
Burnes allowed just one hit in five innings in tuning up for a possible opening day start for Milwaukee. Facing the San Francisco Giants at the Brewers’ complex, the NL Cy Young Award winner struck out eight and walked one.
The only hit came from the first Giants batter, LaMonte Wade Jr., who doubled and eventually scored on an infield out.
