It was going to take quite a performance for Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson to top his pro debut, but he did exactly that in his second start with Double-A Arkansas.<\/p>\n

After pitching four scoreless innings in his first start last week, Anderson tossed five no-hit innings of scoreless ball on his way to his first professional win Friday night against the Wichita Wind Surge, an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. The left-hander racked up 11 strikeouts, which included fanning all but one batter in Wichita\u2019s lineup at least once, and allowed two walks.<\/p>\n

Anderson needed just 70 pitches to get through his five no-hit innings, with 48 of those going for strikes.<\/p>\n

Right-hander Charlie Beilenson replaced Anderson on the mound in the sixth inning with Travelers leading 3-0. The Travelers went on to win 5-0.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Anderson, who was the No. 3 overall pick in last year\u2019s draft, has pitched nine shutout innings with 17 strikeouts and just five hits and three walks allowed in his first two starts as a pro.<\/p>\n

Anderson is the Mariners\u2019 No. 2 prospect and No. 18 in all of baseball,\u00a0per MLB Pipeline<\/a>. Baseball America<\/a> ranks the left-hander as Seattle\u2019s No. 3 prospect and No. 22 in baseball.<\/p>\n

After drafting him last year, the organization elected to shut down Anderson due to a heavy innings workload at LSU, where he pitched 119 innings while helping lead the Tigers to a national title.<\/p>\n

Anderson appeared in three Cactus League games for the M\u2019s this spring, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out nine over seven innings.<\/p>\n
