Burnes tossed a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Thursday's victory over the Reds.
Burnes pitched the ninth inning Thursday, but only because the game was tied and manager Craig Counsell wanted to save some of the relievers ahead of him in the bullpen pecking order for extra innings. He came through as expected, and after a rough patch in the middle of the month, is dominating again -- over his last four outings, Burnes has thrown 7.2 innings and allowed no runs and just three hits with a 6:3 K:BB.
