Yankees' Burnett struggles in key start (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

A.J. Burnett got off to a shaky start in his third playoff game. His final inning wasn't pretty either. The postseason rookie failed to deliver a closeout victory for the New York Yankees in the American League championship series. Burnett got torched for four runs in the first inning Thursday night against Los Angeles and couldn't hold a Yankees lead when he started the seventh.
