Burke (2-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Tigers. He struck out six.

The start of the game was delayed by over two hours due to rain, but Burke wasn't fazed by having to sit around in the clubhouse before taking the mound. The rookie right-hander tossed 84 pitches (49 strikes) in his final outing of the season, and in four September appearances with the big-league club, Burke put together an eye-popping 1.42 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB over 19 innings. The 2021 third-round pick could head into spring training next year as a favorite to secure a regular rotation spot with the White Sox.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates.

He got the Yankees on the board with a fifth-inning solo shot off Mike Burrows, but the Bucs already had a 4-0 lead at that point. Chisholm reached 40 steals on the season Friday, and he now sits one homer short of 25 with one game left to play on the regular-season schedule. The 26-year-old has been outstanding for New York since being acquired at the trade deadline -- 11 of his long balls, and 18 of his stolen bases, have come in only 46 games as a Yankee.

Gil (15-7) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits -- including four home runs -- and a walk over 5.2 innings as the Yankees fell 9-4 to the Pirates. He struck out five.

The only other time this season Gil served up multiple homers came back on Apr. 26, when the Brewers socked two off him in a no-decision. It's a rough ending to a brilliant regular season, but the 26-year-old righty still heads into the playoffs with a 3.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 171:77 K:BB through 151.2 innings. Gil should have a big role in the Yankees' postseason rotation, but with a bye for the wild-card round, it's not yet clear when he'll next take the mound.
