Stop me if you have heard this before, but Mike Burrows turned in a dominant performance for the Altoona Curve on Sunday afternoon. Burrows continues to show why he is one of the Pittsburgh Pirates top pitching prospects, as he allowed a hit, walked a batter and struck out 6 in 4 scoreless innings pitched.
In 6 starts this season Burrows has a 1.35 ERA to go with 35 strikeouts just 7 walks and a single home run allowed in 26.2 innings pitched. If Burrows continues to pitch this way he will be pitching for Triple-A Indy soon.

After Will Koobs allowed a run in 2/3 of an innings pitched, Zach Matson, Travis MacGregor and Colin Selby combined to allow just 2 hits and strikeout 6 batters in 4.1 scoreless innings pitched.
