A.J. Burnett only allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits over 6.1 innings in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Royals at Yankee Stadium. He had three walks and racked up eight strikeouts.

Our View: The Royals took a lead in the game after Burnett exited, so he was forced to take a no-decision for his solid performance. He allowed two or less earned runs in each of his last three starts, but only collected one win over the span.

Burnett's previous starts had been marred by an inability to avoid the big inning, faring 1-5 with a 6.14 ERA in his last nine outings. Yet better command of his fastball and curveball kept Seattle in check all night in what was his finest effort since he blanked the Red Sox on Aug. 2, offering hope that the power-armed right-hander has finally figure things out.

The major damage against Burnett, who entered his latest tilt with Baltimore with a 9-1 mark in 12 career starts against the Orioles -- his third-highest win total against any opponent -- all came in the second inning when the O's hung a six-spot against the veteran right-hander, capped by Brian Roberts' grand slam. Burnett settled in from the third inning onward, reverting back to his usual economical -- he tossed 72 of his 108 pitches for strikes -- and nasty self. The rocket-armed righty will take his next turn on Sept. 18 in a road clash with the Mariners.

Source (fanball.com) (SP - nya) | 0 comments.

A.J. Burnett continued his roller-coaster season on Saturday as he was rocked by the Orioles for six runs on seven hits in seven innings. Burnett walked two and struck out four in the loss.

Our View: Baltimore has had Burnett's number the last two times he has faced them, as he has allowed 12 runs in 12.1 innings. He seems to either be really good or really bad, but when he is good he can be a strikeout machine.

Brian Roberts launched a grand slam off Yankee starter A.J. Burnett in the second inning to lead the Orioles to a 7-3 win. Roberts was 3-for-4 with the homer, a double, a run scored, and four RBI.

Our View: Roberts continues his very good and very underrated 2009 campaign, and he remains an elite fantasy second baseman. Don't expect the grand slam every day, but he is always an excellent play.

Burnett finally reached win No. 11 after seven starts from Aug. 1 - Sept. 1 in which he went 0-4 with a 6.54 ERA. Burnett managed to fan eight-plus batters for just the second time since Aug. 1, so the righty was able to give his defense a rest and prevent the dangerous Rays hitters from potentially get a hit off a ball in play. He's an excellent candidate to record his 12th win when he takes the hill against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 13.
