Burnes, Hiura get Cactus debuts in the books

TEMPE, Ariz. -- The top Brewers prospect's tweet was short and sweet.

"1st Spring Training game," Keston Hiura wrote Friday night after collecting two hits in a split-squad win over the Giants, adding a checkmark to note another professional first in the books.

Pitching prospect Corbin Burnes, who sits right behind Hiura on MLB Pipeline's recently updated list of Milwaukee's top Minor Leaguers, tweeted as well. He shared the final score of the Brewers' win over the Cubs, in which he was the pitcher of record.

"You get a little nervous the first time warming up in the 'pen," said Burnes, who breezed through a clean inning on 11 pitches, all strikes.
