Brock Burke's Unearned Nightmare | MLB News

Brock Burke nearly rewrote baseball history with a jaw-dropping ninth-inning meltdown: entering with a 5-4 lead, he surrendered six runs—none earned—on just two hits, the first such performance since 1913. The disaster began when center fielder Dane Myers miscommunicated with left fielder TJ Friedl, costing two runs on a dropped fly ball that should’ve ended the inning. Myers later admitted he thought the ball was his, citing sun glare and crowd noise as factors. The Cardinals rallied to win 10-9, leaving the Reds reeling. Burke’s bizarre stat line—zero earned runs, two hits in 2/3 of an inning—is a rare anomaly. Now, Cincinnati looks to rebound against the Diamondbacks, with Nick Lodolo set to take the mound Friday night.
