Corbin Burnes falters, Orioles fall to Astros 5-1

Corbin Burnes endured a tough outing, allowing four earned runs on five hits while striking out five over seven innings in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a solid start, Burnes couldn't fend off Houston's lineup, surrendering all his runs without issuing a walk, which is a slight silver lining. This performance bumps his ERA up slightly but remains impressive at 2.35 for the season. His WHIP also stays low at 1.01, reflecting his ability to limit base runners, which is a critical metric for fantasy managers. The lack of walks in this game helps maintain his strong 3.92 strikeout-to-walk ratio, reinforcing his status as a reliable starter in fantasy rotations. However, fantasy managers might be slightly concerned about his susceptibility to the long ball, as evidenced in this outing.
