Braves douse Burnes, still lose 9-5

Keep in mind that the Braves lost 9-5 on Friday night, when you read the following bullet points:

  • Corbin Burnes, Milwaukee’s starter, entered this game as the fWAR leader among all pitchers. He had not had a game with a below-average FIP yet this year.
  • The Braves scored four runs off Burnes in the first, and chased him with two on, zero out in the fifth, tying his shortest outing of the year.
  • Josh Tomlin pitched two scoreless innings.

When that four-run first inning outburst happened, I was speechless.
