Burnes (13-8) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three in six innings.
Burnes scattered five singles throughout the first five frames, holding the Rays scoreless until Jonny DeLuca launched a two-run home run in the sixth, which turned out to be the only runs scored in the low-scoring affair. It wasn't Burnes' most dominant outing, but he managed to notch his 20th quality start of the season and his first since Aug. 10. On the season, the 29-year-old sports a 3.18 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 157:43 K:BB in 175 innings (29 starts). He will look to get back in the win column his next time out, scheduled for next weekend in Detroit.
