He commands the ball as well as any young pitcher I've seen. He does a good job sticking his fastball to right-handers. He's able to make the baseball do what he wants it to do.

He threw the ball well. He has a live fastball and slider.

He battled even though he didn't have good command of his fastball.

He's got a lot on the ball. He's the best young pitcher I've ever seen. I didn't see Dwight Gooden when he was young, but of all the young kids I've seen, he's by far the furthest along.

We just didn't hit the ball. This was really the first good pitcher we've seen, and my hat is off to (Burns). He threw strikes, and we weren't able to put the ball in play.

Our guys set the tone early and kept going with it. They are doing a good job of not being satisfied with yesterday and not taking for granted today.
