AJ'S Struggles Continue As Dodgers Top Yanks

By Matthew Klein

AJ Burnett's struggles continued in a 9-4 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday night. Burnett, who went into the game winless since May 30 got an early 3-0 lead on a Mark Teixeira 3-run homer before he even threw a pitch. Burnett gave those runs right back, as he left in the fourth inning after letting two men on to mark his fifth consecutive loss this month. " I can't wait to pitch my next start. I'm not going to say , Oh, God, I have to go back in five days. No I can't wait to go back in five days" Burnett said to the media after the game.

There was also talk of whether or not Joe Girardi would skip his next start to get his confidence back. " I don't think he's necessarily going to benefit from it right now, I don't know" Joe said after the game.

The Yankee bats could not get it going late in the game. Boone Logan and Chan Ho Park gave up three tack on runs for the Dodgers as Torre brought in closer Jonathan Broxton to close it out. Andy Pettite will battle Clayton Kershaw in the rubber game of the series tonight at 8pm on ESPN.
