Burnes (15-8) yielded three hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings Friday, striking out eight and earning a win over Detroit.
Burnes allowed only two runners to reach scoring position in his dominant outing. He fired 60 of 91 pitches for strikes, but he generated only 11 whiffs. Burnes has been a nightmare for the Tigers recently; in back-to-back starts against them, he's tossed 14 scoreless frames with 15 punchouts while earning a win in both. He's delivered a 1.08 ERA over 25 innings this month, dropping his season ERA to 2.95 across 31 starts. Burnes' final start of the regular season is expected to be a road matchup against the Yankees.
