Yankees.com: Burnett no help as Yankees fall into tie
Burnett allowed five runs (three earned) in just 2 2/3 innings and suffered his first career defeat against Boston, dropping a 7-0 decision on Tuesday at Fenway Park.
“It’s disappointing to everybody,” Burnett said. “I think the toughest thing is you come out of a game like that and you’ve got to look all of those guys in the face when you come in. That’s a feeling you don’t want to have.”
The loss was the Yankees’ sixth in six games this season against the Red Sox, giving both teams even records at 34-24 and equal shares of first place in the American League East with two games remaining in this midweek rivalry series.
Was it really too much to ask Burnett to keep the Yankees in the game for at least 3 innings? Then again, I guess it was too much to ask the Yankee offense to muster more than 2 hits all night.
Also, the Yankees took Slade Heathcott with their 29th pick overall in the draft.
