Burrows did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Cardinals, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 4.2 innings. Burrows retired the first 14 batters he faced before unraveling with two outs in the fifth and ultimately being charged with four runs in the frame. What started as an encouraging step forward ended as his shortest outing of the season, and he's now allowed four earned runs or more in three of five starts. The 26-year-old will carry a 6.75 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB across 26.2 innings into a tough home matchup against the Yankees next weekend.

Michael Burrows: Breaking News
Hit hard in third loss
Burrows (1-3) took the loss Monday against the Mariners, allowing six runs on 11 hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out three. Although Burrows fired 69 of his 98 pitches for strikes and amassed 17 swinging strikes, he was perhaps a bit too haphazard in targeting the zone Monday. The Mariners tagged him for four-extra base hits, with two leaving the yard off the bat of Josh Naylor, and Burrows wound up giving up a career-high 11 hits and matching a career worst in runs allowed. The 26-year-old right-hander is off to a rocky start in his Astros tenure, posting a 6.55 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB over 22 frames, but he'll have an opportunity to turn things around in a favorable home matchup against the Cardinals this weekend.
Gets little run support in loss
Burrows (1-2) took the loss against Colorado on Tuesday, pitching 5.1 innings during which he allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters. Burrows' big mistake was serving up a two-run homer to Willi Castro in the fourth inning. Aside from that, he scattered several hits but benefitted from two double plays and gave up just one additional run. However, Houston eked out just one run of support, sending Burrows to his second loss through three starts. The right-hander will carry a 5.63 ERA and 15:6 K:BB across 16 innings into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Mariners in Seattle.
