Health: Burgos makes Rehab Start

by Matthew Cerrone on August 6th, 2008 at 2:08 pm

Mets RHP Ambiorix Burgos pitched to nine batters and allowed three hits and two runs while striking out four in two innings during his first minor-league rehab game for the GCL Mets in St. Lucie.

The Mets acquired Burgos in a trade with the Royals during 2006 for Brian Bannister, who is 7–10 with a 5.37 ERA this season.

In 17 appearances for the Mets in 2007, Burgos was 1–0 with a 3.42 ERA, during which he struck out 19 batters in 23 innings while batters hit just .200 against him.
