A.J. Burnett’s struggles continued Wednesday night in Los Angeles. The veteran righty, who has been in a downward slide since throwing eight shutout innings on July 23, saw his ERA increase yet again.
Burnett had been cruising early, but a sixth inning rally by the Angels would turn what had been a solid outing into yet another disappointment, as the Phillies fell 4-3.

After a sacrifice fly by Brennan Boesch gave the Angels a 1-0 lead in the second, the Phillies responded, scoring a run in both the third and fourth inning, courtesy of RBI singles by Marlon Byrd and Jimmy Rollins, to take the lead.
It wouldn’t be until the sixth inning that the shit hit the fan. In the sixth, Burnett allowed three hits, one walk and hit one batter with a pitch, as the Angels scored three runs to take the lead.
The Phillies would pull within one on an RBI ground out by Domonic Brown in the eighth, but would be unable to complete the comeback, falling to 4-3.
