Mike Burrows allowed six runs -- five earned -- with three strikeouts over five innings in a loss against the Pirates on Tuesday.

Burrows tossed a scoreless first inning, then surrendered a two-run homer to Endy Rodríguez in the second. He’d strand two more runners before getting out of the frame. Burrows would take a two-run lead into the sixth, but gave up a three-run homer to Oneil Cruz before recording an out. Burrows would leave a runner on base, departing at 90 pitches. The inherited runner would eventually come in to score. The 26-year-old right-hander has disappointed so far this season with the Astros, posting a 5.66 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and a 57/26 K/BB ratio across 68 1/3 innings into a start against the Athletics in Houston on Sunday.
