Sean Burke Stumbles In Second Start
42 seconds agoChicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Sean Burke took a tough loss in his second start of the campaign on Wednesday afternoon against the Minnesota Twins. Burke was able to log four 1/3 innings of work and allowed seven hits and six earned runs. He tallied just two strikeouts. He ran into trouble early, allowing a solo home run to Minnesota outfielder Byron Buxton in the first inning. Later in the fourth, he would allow a three-run shot to outfielder Harrison Bader. This was a tough outing for Burke, who performed quite well on Opening Day, as he tossed six shutout innings against the Angels. In that game, he allowed just three hits and struck out three. Last season, the former third-round pick received a brief taste of the majors as he logged 19 innings to the tune of a 1.42 ERA. He is worth holding in deeper 15-team formats as the White Sox will continue to provide him starting opportunities.
