A.J. Burnett responded to his GM's confidence in him by allowing just one unearned run and six hits in seven innings. He walked four and struck out 10. The win gives him 12 on the season and matches his career high. It was the 20th time Burnett has struck out 10 or more in a game, and the fourth time this season. Asked before the game whether the Blue Jays would deal Burnett by Thursday’s trade deadline, general manager J.P. Ricciardi was emphatic. “He’s not going anywhere,” Ricciardi said.Hopefully with all the trade talk behind him, Burnett will turn around a very average season. He now has 149 strikeouts in 146 innings and remains a good play from here out.
