Tigers minors: Beau Burrows pitches no-hitter through six for Erie.
Freep
Pitching deeper into the season than he ever has before, Beau Burrows continues to get better. Burrows, Detroit's No. 4 prospect (No. 95 overall), was untouchable on Saturday as he tossed six hitless innings with eight strikeouts and two walks to pace Double-A Erie in an 11-0 rout of New Hampshire.
"It was definitely a dominant performance," Erie pitching coach Willie Blair told MiLB.com. "It was probably the most consistent he's been with executing pitches. He located the fastball down in the zone early and on the edges. He then was able to elevate it late. It seemed like his fastball had an extra gear when he got to two strikes. He elevated it and it had a little extra life on it. It was probably the most consistent his breaking stuff has been since I've had him. He's shown times of having breaking balls -- the curveball and the slider. But tonight I think it was a little more consistent."
Burrows began his outing by issuing a leadoff walk, but quickly settled in and retired nine consecutive batters. The 20-year-old righty would allow two more New Hampshire batters to reach base in the outing: one on an infield throwing error in the fourth inning, and the other via a two-out walk in his sixth and final inning of work. Burrows threw 53 of his 86 pitches for strikes in the outing, including first-pitch strikes to 13 of 20 batters, though the Tigers' organization-imposed innings limit kept the young right-hander from returning for the seventh inning.
"It felt so unbelievable," Burrows said. "I wanted to come out for the seventh inning, but I came back to the dugout and they said I was done due to my innings limit. I was a little upset about it, but they gotta do what they gotta do, so I respect their decision. It was just fun to go out there and pitch."
Burrows has a 4.38 ERA with 64 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings (12 starts) since being promoted for Class A Advanced Lakeland. Including his time in the Florida State League, he has pitched to a 2.84 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, with 126 strikeouts and a .240 batting average against over 120 1/3 innings.
