BALTIMORE (AP) — Corbin Burnes allowed a home run to the first batter of the game against his former team, and Baltimore’s new ace left after five innings Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers with the score tied.
Burnes allowed three runs along with six hits and two walks, but he struck out five and pitched out of trouble on multiple occasions. Some of those jams were self-inflicted — a throwing error by Burnes led to an unearned run in the fourth.
But the Brewers couldn’t produce a big inning against the right-hander after scoring 11 runs in each of the first two games in Baltimore. Milwaukee tied a franchise record by scoring at least seven runs in six straight games entering Sunday.
The Brewers traded Burnes to the Orioles in the offseason for left-hander DL Hall and infielder Joey Ortiz. William Contreras greeted Burnes with a homer to right-center field to lead off the game, and Rhys Hoskins followed with a double. Then the right-hander set down six in a row.
