He gave up 3 runs in the 7th last Sunday and couldn't get the win, and he gave up 2 runs in the 8th Yesterday and got the ND. Then again the bullpen has been terrible so I guess I can't blame McKeon for keeping him in there.
Actually, no, Burnett didn't give up those runs. Mota did. Burnett came out with runners at 1st and 2nd with one out. Mota gave up the hits that scored them, so Burnett's ERA took the hit since they were his runners, but they didn't score with him on the mound.

Yes doctor, I am sick.
Sick of those who are spineless.
Sick of those who feel self-entitled.
Sick of those who are hypocrites.
Yes doctor, an army is forming.
Yes doctor, there will be a war.
Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
