It’s difficult to say who’s having more trouble at the moment: A.J. Burnett or his former team. The Toronto Blue Jays have lost five straight games and Burnett has lost five straight starts, so one of those streaks will end as Burnett’s New York Yankees begin a three-game set against the visiting Blue Jays on Friday night. Burnett, who won 38 games for Toronto from 2006-08, went 13-9 in his first season with the Yankees in 2009 and got off to a 6-2 start with a 3.28 ERA this year. The sudden deterioration in the right-hander’s performance, however, has been stunning. Burnett has posted an 11.35 ERA during his longest losing streak since dropping his final six decisions for Florida in 2005. He gave up six runs and six hits with six walks in three-plus innings of a 9-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

Burnett, who has also been dealing with the recent death of his grandfather, gave up six runs - three homers - in six innings of a 6-1 loss at Toronto on June 4. Since joining the Yankees, he is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA in four starts against the Blue Jays.Toronto’s bats, however, have gone all but silent as the team has matched its longest slide of the season. With a 9-18 record since the beginning of June, the fourth-place Blue Jays have slipped nine games behind the AL East-leading Yankees. Jose Bautista is batting .154 with two home runs and five RBIs in 23 games since hitting two homers off Burnett last month. Adam Lind continues to slump with one home run and a .157 average in his last 25 games. The Blue Jays were held without a home run while getting swept in a four-game set at Cleveland this week. That drought is the longest of the season for the team that leads the majors with 115 homers.
