A.J. Burnett leads Pirates to 1-0 victory over Philly
by Caleb Luketic | Mon, Jun 15th 11:12am EDT
The Pittsburgh Pirates went to extra innings twice in three days with the Phillies. The crazier part of that, both games were knotted at 0-0. Burnett went 9 innings of shut out baseball, but the Bucs weren't able to back Burnett's outstanding outing.
Fantasy Impact:
A.J. Burnett went full beast mode on Sunday, as he threw 9 shut out innings and struck out 4 batters. Burnett does not record a high volume of strikeouts, but he does tend to go 7+ innings every time he takes the mound. He also has one of the lowest NL ERA's, which makes him an extremely valuable fantasy pitcher.
