Burnes didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Cubs after allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while fanning 11 across six innings.
Burnes delivered a second straight quality start, and he looked absolutely filthy once again -- he has 25 strikeouts and just four walks over his previous two appearances. The right-hander has also posted six quality starts over eight outings since the beginning of August, delivering a 2.08 ERA with a 11.9 K/9 across 52 innings in that span.
