Alex Rodriguez is out of the New York Yankees' lineup, this time as a precaution after playing two straight games since coming off the disabled list. Manager Joe Girardi says he's just keeping his slugger fresh as he recovers from a strained left calf.

A.J. Burnett has had worse outings than the one he had Monday, but few of them have seemed to bother the right-hander as much as the 4-3 loss to the Orioles did.

Burnett gave up four runs on seven hits and four walks in seven innings, limiting Baltimore to single runs in four different innings. Unfortunately, two of those innings came immediately after the Yankees had tied the game, shifting the momentum—and the lead—back to Baltimore.

"You want to throw up a zero no matter what, but especially when we score," Burnett said. "I wasn't able to do that."

Burnett's fastball and curveball were sharp, as he used the hook to induce a pair of double plays, but his changeup wasn't as good as it was five days earlier.

In a bizarre ending, Texas third base coach Dave Anderson was called for interfering with runner Michael Young for the final out Sunday, giving the Minnesota Twins a 6-5 win over the Rangers.
