After striking out the first two batters he faced, Burnes issued a walk to Kyle Farmer and gave up back-to-back singles to Stuart Fairchild and Alejo Lopez to allow the game's first run. Burnes settled down after that, putting together three 1-2-3 innings in a row before eventually giving up a second run on a Matt Reynolds single in the bottom of the seventh.
