Sean Burke of the Chicago White Sox seeks to rebound in his upcoming game against the Chicago Cubs after a difficult performance that involved control issues leading to multiple walks. Manager Will Venable emphasizes the need for Burke to start strong and attack the strike zone to develop into a reliable pitcher. Conversely, the Cubs' Matthew Boyd has shown exceptional form with a 2.78 ERA and multiple quality starts, showcasing his value since joining the team on a two-year deal.
"That's going to be part of having good, quality starts is coming out ready to go and attacking the zone," Venable said pregame.
"He's seen on a couple times what happens when that doesn't happen. There's been times when there's been walks and he's gotten bailed out to be honest."
Boyd has a 2.78 ERA, which ranks eighth among National League starting pitchers. He also has five quality starts in his first eight tries.
In the three that are not considered quality starts, he's pitched at least five innings with no more than two earned runs.
