A.J. Burnett gives up four runs in loss
A.J. Burnett - S - Pittsburgh Pirates
March 4, 2013 - 4:35 PM ET

A.J. Burnett was tagged for four runs in 1 1/3 innings by the Phillies on Monday.

Burnett was supposed to go three innings today, but he had a second straight rough outing and has now allowed eight runs -- five earned -- in 3 1/3 innings this spring. Still, things are going better than they did last March, when he suffered a fractured orbital bone in a bunting drill and never made a single spring start.
