Imagine getting this kind of run support from the Pirates offense and still not being allowed to go for a win. Because of management like this, getting pulled after just 74 pitches, Burrows is just 2-4 with a 3.93 ERA in 19 starts and three relief appearances. Carmen Mlodzinski got the win today after throwing three scoreless innings as Burrows’ replacement. Burrows should pitch again versus the Braves next weekend.

Burros struck out six and only handed out one free pass. The 25-year-old rookie righty has allowed three earned runs or fewer in six consecutive starts dating back to August 16. He’ll square off against the Athletics next weekend at PNC Park.

Burrows was lifted after 56 pitches because he was due to work in tandem with Braxton Ashcraft tonight. It’s the fourth straight outing in which he’s been workload limited; he’s allowed just two runs over 13 innings over the four appearances. He’ll probably pitch again, either as a starter or a reliever, Sunday against the Nationals.

Burrows gave the Pirates four shutout frames, scattering two hits and one walk while striking out five batters. His day would be done after the fourth at 57 pitches in what’s likely some load management for the 25-year-old right-hander. Burrows will take a 4.23 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and a 78/28 K/BB ratio across 76 2/3 innings into a start against the Cardinals in St. Louis on Thursday.

Burrows held the Cubs scoreless through three innings before a walk and two hits brought a run in to score in the fourth. He’d walk another batter before escaping a bases-loaded jam. Burrows tossed one more scoreless frame, ending his day with four strikeouts over five innings. The 25-year-old right-hander will take a 4.46 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and a 73/27 K/BB ratio across 72 2/3 innings into a start against the Rockies in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Burrows allowed just three hits and one walk on the day. Unfortunately, they all came in a five-batter sequence in the fourth that concluded with a Miguel Andujar homer. Burrows struck out six, so even if it took a toll on his 4.66 ERA, it really was a solid performance from him. He’ll face the Cubs next weekend.

That got him charged with a loss, of course. Burrows, who gave up just one homer in five turns last month, is 1-4 even though he’s allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his 13 starts. Unless the Pirates bring up a spot starter this while in the midst of a long string of games this week, Burrows will make his next start Sunday against the Reds.

He gave up only three hits, all of which were singles. Burrows has lowered his ERA from 4.83 to 3.88 by allowing three runs over 17 innings in his last three starts. He’s still not recommended in mixed leagues, but he’s showing he’s someone who can be penciled into the Pirates’ 2026 rotation. He’ll face the Giants again next week.

Burrows was on point in this one. He was picking off edges left and right with all four of his pitches and practically didn’t make a single mistake. Each of those four pitches also forced multiple swings-and-misses and led him to his best start in weeks. Once in a while, he flashes serious upside and has been able to rack up strikeouts in bunches when everything is working. He’s scheduled to face the Giants next time out.

Burrows had allowed just one baserunner through four scoreless innings before running into some trouble in the fifth. The White Sox brought a pair of runs in to score on two base hits and a double. Burrows would get out of the inning and end his day at 76 pitches with six strikeouts. The 25-year-old right-hander will carry a 4.70 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and a 48/19 K/BB ratio across 46 innings into a start against the Diamondbacks in Pittsburgh on Friday.

Burrows pitched a scoreless first and got the first batter of the second, but that was followed by a walk, a HBP, a three-run homer, a triple, an infield single, a walk and another single, at which point Burrows was finally lifted. Burrows came into the day with a 3.63 ERA in nine outings, so one ugly start shouldn’t cost him his spot. This one, though, was brutal enough that his ERA is all of the way up to 4.82 now.

Burrows did walk four, but he was able to escape his jams. What he wasn’t able to escape was Pittsburgh putting up a goose egg, so his impressive start comes without a win. Still, this was a positive development that follows an impressive — but short — outing against the Mets, and it helps lower his ERA to 3.63. Intriguing. Burrows will be back on the bump Friday against the Twins.

It was quite the quick hook for Burrows. He had just given up a homer, but it was a solo shot with one out, and he was only at 67 pitches with the No. 9 hitter coming up. It probably did factor in that Burrows pitched in relief Wednesday, putting him on three days’ rest today. Still, it was just 31 pitches, and it was his only action in the last nine days. The early exit means Burrows remained stuck at one win through seven big-league starts. He should face the Mariners next.

Burrows couldn’t locate either of his breaking balls tonight, and the Rangers swung at just one of the 17 he threw, fouling it off. The remaining 16 produced three called strikes and 13 balls. Burrows’ changeup is his best secondary pitch, but it’s not so good that he can just rely on that and fastballs. He’s 1-2 with a 4.82 ERA through six big-league starts, and as a result of the Pirates needing an extra starter next week because of Thursday’s doubleheader, he probably won’t pitch again before next Friday’s game against the Mets.

After struggling in his first two starts last month, Burrows has been very good twice and adequate once in three starts in June, leaving him with a 4.24 ERA overall. The eight strikeouts today topped his previous high by two, and he went without a walk for the second time in his five starts. He’ll make his next start at home against the Rangers.

Burrows gave up four hits, including a second-inning solo homer to Otto Lopez, and was unable to stick around long enough to collect a win. He was lifted in the fifth after just 66 pitches (41 strikes), racking up six strikeouts and issuing three walks. He’s not a recommended option for fantasy managers when he faces off against a red-hot Cubs lineup on Sunday at Wrigley Field.

Burrows allowed five hits, walked none and struck out six in his third start since being recalled. There’s good reason everyone wanted Bubba Chandler up instead of Burrows last month, but that doesn’t mean Burrows doesn’t belong. The strong outing leaves him with a 5.27 ERA after three starts. He’ll face the Marlins next, making him something of a streaming option. Still, mixed leaguers can probably do better.

Burrowed surrendered a leadoff homer to Corbin Carroll in the bottom of the first inning, then got out of the frame with the bases loaded. After two scoreless innings, the Diamondbacks knocked Burrows from the game in the fourth, bringing in five runs in the frame. The 25-year-old right-hander has now allowed nine runs, eight earned, over 8 1/3 innings across two starts. Another turn in the rotation would put him in line for a start against the Astros in Pittsburgh next Tuesday.
