    At 36 and the owner of two World Series rings, A.J. Burnett says he no longer cares about personal statistics.

    "It's all about the team," the Pittsburgh Pirates' right-hander said. "We've got something special really special going on here."

    Burnett, however, admitted it was nice to get a win Sunday. He hasn't had too many of them this season.

    Burnett scattered eight hits and Russell Martin provided some rare run support for the 15-year veteran with a three-run homer that led the Pirates over the Colorado Rockies 5-1.
