Burnes (14-8) got the win Saturday against the Tigers. He allowed two hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in seven scoreless innings.
Burnes was nearly unhittable Saturday as he got through seven innings with ease, at one point retiring 12 straight hitters. He has been a model of durability and consistency for the Orioles this season, as he's made 30 starts and has thrown the fifth most innings in MLB with 182.1. The 29-year-old will carry a 3.06 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled against the Tigers once again.

Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Tough-luck loser in quality start
Rotowire
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.
Burnes (13-7) picked up the win Monday against the White Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk across five innings. He struck out four.
Burnes struck out four or fewer for a third straight start, but he was able to get back into the win column after taking three consecutive losses. Since the start of August, Burnes has a 6.46 ERA and a 16:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week this weekend against Tampa Bay.
Burned (12-7) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing six runs (one earned) on five hits over five innings while striking out four.
Burnes didn't get off to the start he was hoping for as the right-hander surrendered a leadoff homer to Shohei Ohtani on a hanging slider to open the contest. The 29-year-old was then able to retire the next seven batters he faced before Enrique Hernandez reached on a fielding error by Ramon Urias. The Dodgers would go on to score four runs in the frame, topped off by a three-run homer from Teoscar Hernandez, though the error means Burnes was charged with just one earned run. He's now allowed 28 runs (21 earned) over 25.2 innings in August, posting a 7.36 ERA for the month to go along with a 1-3 record. Wednesday also marked the second outing this month in which he surrendered multiple home runs.
Orioles' Corbin Burnes: Singled into submission Thursday
Rotowire
Burnes (12-6) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings.
Burnes began his outing with three scoreless frames before the Astros tagged him for two runs in the fourth. Following a 1-2-3 fifth inning, the veteran righty folded in the sixth, giving up five hits -- all singles -- to allow four runners to score. In fact, all eight of the knocks Burnes allowed in the contest were singles, so he wasn't exactly hit hard, though the right-hander gave up too much contact with just six whiffs and two punchouts. He still has a respectable 3.28 ERA on the campaign, but over his past four starts he's uncharacteristically posted an 8.71 ERA over 20.2 frames.
Burnes (12-5) took the loss Friday against Boston, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out seven.
The right-hander turned in his worst start of the season, allowing more than four earned runs for the first time as an Oriole. Burnes has struggled since the All-Star break, pitching to an atypical 5.40 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 35 innings. Overall, the former NL Cy Young Award winner sports a 3.10 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 144:38 K:BB in 153.2 total innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next scheduled start at Houston next week.
