BREWERS BURNES TIES RECORD WITH 10 STRAIGHT Ks

Milwaukee starter Corbin Burnes tied a major-league record by recording 10 straight strikeouts and blanked host Chicago 10-0 on four hits over eight innings of a history-making win. Burnes (7-4) finished with a career-high 15 punchouts. The right-hander became the third pitcher in MLB annals to record 10 straight whiffs, joining the New York Mets Tom Seaver in 1970 and Aaron Nola, who accomplished the feat in June for Philadelphia.

Burnes' streak was snapped when Cubs infielder Matt Duffy singled to right field in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Burnes' record-tying streak consisted entirely of swinging strikeouts.

The 26-year-old Burnes entered the game with a career-high 157 strikeouts in 113 innings, with a major league-best 12.9 strikeouts per nine innings. He was the Brewers' fourth-round pick out of St. Mary's in 2016.
