The Brewers have not shied away from challenging Corbin Burnes in his full-season debut. And so far, the right-hander has passed every test the organization has thrown his way.
That trend continued on Monday night, as the Brewers' No. 20 prospect spun six scoreless frames of one-hit ball en route to his first win since being promoted to Double-A Biloxi. He issued one walk and struck out eight in the outing, which saw the 22-year-old righty throw 64 of his 92 pitches for strikes after carrying a no-hit bid for 3 2/3 innings.
"Stuff-wise, everything was just working well," Burnes told MiLB.com. "As of last week, I've been trying to work on command on offspeed pitches better and commanding the fastball in the zone. I had a good gameplan with [Jacob Nottingham] behind the plate and just went out there and executed the pitches.
"Today, all the pitches were good in the bullpen," he added. "I've been really working hard on the changeup lately. I have a great pitching coach in Chris Hook, and he gave me a couple of pointers last week and it's really helped me. The changeup was one of the better out pitches tonight."

Prior to that, he had gone 5-0 with a Carolina League-leading 1.05 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 10 starts for Class A Advanced Carolina.
Overall, Burnes has pitched to a 1.06 ERA in 76 2/3 innings (13 starts) between the two levels. He also owns a stellar 0.82 WHIP and .166 opponents' average, with 75 strikeouts and 20 walks.
