CHICAGO — It’s a shame Carlos Rodón quickly ran up his pitch count Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, because who knows how many strikeouts he would have finished with if he were more economical.
Twelve? Fifteen? Twenty?
Corbin Burnes showed what an efficient strikeout pitcher can do against an anemic offense just a day earlier while shutting down the Giants for eight innings. He had 10 through five innings and finished with 14.
