Burnes ERA is sitting at 2.43, just .03 ahead of scherzer. Full on speculation, but cc pulled him with the ERA lead while he had it back, but still getting some work in. I feel like, baring a 3 pitch inning or close, he only would have been in for 1 more inning based on his pitch count, and I feel like cc would feel bad if he threw him back out there for the third and he gave up a run and lost the lead.
