Mike Burrows allowed five runs — four earned — in five innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Royals.

Burrows gave up five runs for a third straight outing and sixth time overall this season. He seems like the obvious cut from the rotation with Hunter Brown set to return early next week. Though 14 starts, he has a 5.86 ERA and has given up 18 homers in 78 1/3 innings.
