Sean Burke - Works in long relief Tuesday Burke struck out three batters and allowed one unearned run on three hits and one walk over three innings of relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Guardians. Impact Called up from Triple-A Charlotte earlier Tuesday, Burke was put to work right away in his MLB debut, entering the contest in the top of the seventh with the White Sox facing a four-run deficit. Burke escaped his debut outing with an unblemished ERA, even though he was at fault for the Guardians' final run of the night in the top of the ninth, when he committed a throwing error while attempting to pick off Steven Kwan at first base. Prior to his promotion, Burke had been a full-time member of the rotation at Charlotte, making 16 starts while logging a 4.62 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 86:36 K:BB in 64.1 innings. The White Sox are currently running with a four-man rotation, so Burke could be the top choice the next time the club requires a fifth starter.
