Burnes allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out eight in 4.1 innings during Thursday's 8-3 loss to Philadelphia. He did not factor into the decision.
Burnes struggled all game with his command and had three-ball counts with nine of the 21 batters he faced. All in all, he needed 113 pitches to record only 13 outs. The righty has struggled in June, allowing 17 baserunners and eight runs (six earned) in eight innings across two starts. After only walking five batters in 39 frames in May, he has walked six thus far this month. His next outing will likely be in the middle of next week against the Mets.
