Burnett, Matsui lead Yankees past Rangers 9-2
A.J. Burnett used a simple plan to end six weeks of struggles.
Burnett shines in win
A.J. Burnett was very good on Wednesday as the Yankees beat the Rangers 9-2. Burnett went six innings and did not allow a run on three hits while walking four and striking out seven.
Our View: Burnett has had a rough go of it in his first season in New York, but he showed tonight why the Yankees signed him to a huge free agent deal. He has the potential, but his home ballpark should keep his ERA pretty high. He is still a good fantasy option, but don't expect this every time out.
A.J. Burnett improved to 3-2 on the season with six scoreless
A.J. Burnett improved to 3-2 on the season with six scoreless innings in a 9-2 win over the Rangers on Wednesday night Now this is what the Yankees have been waiting for. [...]
Burnett bounced back nicely after serving up three round-trippers
Burnett bounced back nicely after serving up three round-trippers in his last outing vs. the Phillies. For the first time all season he didn’t allow any runs, though he continues to struggle with his command, as he needed 118 pitches to get through the six frames. The big righty has compiled a very poor 4.36 BB/9 mark this year, but his dominant stuff makes it hard not to start him every time out. He’s on tap to take the ball next on June 2 vs. the Rangers again.
