Burnes (6-4) allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts through six innings to earn the win in Saturday's 6-1 victory over the White Sox.
Burnes was perfect his first time through the order in a dominant outing. While his six strikeouts may be just half of the clean dozen that he registered his last time out against the Reds, Chicago was thoroughly perplexed by his nasty cutter. Burnes, who takes pride in his all-world ability to find the zone, won't be pleased about walking in a run in the fifth inning. However, the two free passes he issued Saturday are the most he's allowed in a game since June 25.
