Fans nine in dominant performance
Burke (6-4) earned the win Friday against the Athletics after tossing seven innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and striking out nine.
Analysis
Burke came just two strikeouts shy of matching his season high in that category, and this was the fourth time in his last five outings he's fanned at least eight. With a 1.69 ERA across 32 innings over that five-game stretch, Burke heads into the All-Star break full of momentum. He'll aim to carry his impressive run of results into his next start, tentatively scheduled for Friday, July 17, on the road against the Blue Jays.

Strikes out 11 in no-decision
Burke did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Guardians, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks with 11 strikeouts over six innings.
Analysis
A solo homer in the fifth inning was the only blemish on Burke's performance as he generated 16 whiffs on 95 pitches while registering a career-high 11 strikeouts. It continued a strong run for the 26-year-old, who's worked into the sixth inning or beyond in four straight outings while allowing just five earned runs during that span. He'll take a 3.56 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 106:33 K:BB across 98.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Athletics next weekend.
