The Arizona Diamondbacks were left waiting for Corbin Burnes to show his Cy Young-level stuff during their game against the Washington Nationals. Burnes struggled early, giving up four runs before settling in and finishing the game with five innings pitched. Despite his efforts, the Diamondbacks fell short, losing 5-4. Burnes acknowledged his lack of command on the baseball, which led to walks and hit by pitches. The game also featured former Arizona State Sun Devil Trevor Williams on the mound for the Nationals.
Burnes had a rough start, throwing nearly 30 pitches in the first inning and allowing a run-saving throw from right field by Corbin Carroll. Despite his early struggles, Burnes improved in the later innings, putting away batters with fewer pitches. However, he still gave up four runs in total, unable to match the success of his previous outing against the New York Yankees.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo commented on Burnes’ command issues and the frustration he faced during the game. Burnes himself recognized the challenges he faced and the need to bear down in tough situations. Despite the loss, the Diamondbacks are hopeful that Burnes will bounce back in his next outing.
