Fired Orioles’ manager Brandon Hyde is a classic victim of circumstance ( “Brandon Hyde is gone but Orioles’ problems are bigger than that,” May 18). The team wouldn’t pay enough to keep ace pitcher Corbin Burnes or sign another top notch hurler. Really, Charlie Morton?

The Diamondbacks needed this one. After 16 games in 16 days against teams who would qualify for the postseason if the season ended today, they were able to cruise to an uneventful, 8-0 win over the Rockies at Chase Field.

It was a clear 87 degree night Chase Field on Friday, perfect for baseball weather as the D-Backs took on the Colorado Rockies and won by a score of 8-0.

Corbin Burnes and Zac Gallen get the majority of attention when it comes to the Diamondbacks’ rotation. That’s understandable, as Burnes has won a Cy Young Award and Gallen has been a finalist. So it’s easy to overlook Merrill Kelly.

The Diamondbacks romped, 8-0, behind a gem from veteran starter Corbin Burnes. He blanked the Rockies for six innings, allowed just two singles, and struck out 10. He did walk three, but Colorado’s clueless offense could not take advantage. Burnes extended his scoreless-innings streak to 16 innings.

Corbin Burnes fanned 10 in six innings, Gabriel Moreno had three hits and scored three runs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks extended the Colorado Rockies' misery with an 8-0 victory on Friday in Phoenix.

The 15-28 Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday, which underscores one glaring misstep from this past offseason.
