Burke did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Reds, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.
Burke allowed a solo homer in the fifth inning but was otherwise superb, generating a whopping 20 swinging strikes on 94 pitches and departing with a 4-1 lead his bullpen could not secure. It was an encouraging effort after the 26-year-old failed to complete five frames for the first time since June 13 last Wednesday, and he's now logged a quality start in six of his past seven outings. He'll carry a 2.99 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 152:39 K:BB across 135.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Tigers this weekend.
