Yanks' Burnett throws 4 perfect innings (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

A.J. Burnett made it look easy. Burnett threw four perfect innings in the New York Yankees' 3-1 split-squad win over the Houston Astros on Saturday. "I asked him if he wanted to go another three innings," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said with a smile. "He was sharp. The ball comes out of his hand so free and easy." Burnett struck out three during his 40-pitch outing.
