[INTRO] Sean Burke continues his scorching heater by pitching 6.2 scoreless innings vs. Toronto. What's been working for him?


[5:43] Davis Martin was solid on Saturday as the White Sox continue to limit his pitch count to around 85 pitches. Is that to conserve energy? Or is there another factor in play?
