"In a game that motored along — Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi save for the Slater dinger was nearly as sly as Burke, likewise pitching into the sixth — the only move made for possible controversy was rookie skipper Will Venable yanking Burke at 73 pitches and 14 straight retired, handing the ball to his bullpen to get the final nine outs." - 2024
