Burke (1-1) took the loss Wednesday as the White Sox were downed 6-1 by the Twins, surrendering six runs on seven hits over 4.1 innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.
ANALYSISAfter a sharp 2025 debut Opening Day, Burke crashed back down to earth in his second outing, although a rain delay of over three hours before the contest started likely played a big role in that. Four of the hits off the righty went for extra bases, including homers by
Byron Buxton and
Harrison Bader, and Burke got the hook after 77 pitches (50 strikes). He'll take a 5.23 ERA and 4:0 K:BB through 10.1 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Cleveland.
