Chase Burns (6-1, 1.83 ERA) allowed a lone run in his outing. It was a no-doubt, 409-foot, third-inning blast by Philadelphia's Trea Turner. Beyond that, Burns allowed the hottest team in baseball precious few opportunities. The Phillies didn't earn a walk and struck out nine times, tacking on just two hits to the Turner homer.
Cincinnati's pitching woes have been exacerbated by injuries in recent weeks, as well as by additional injury scares such as when Brady Singer was hit with a come-backer in a May 12 start.
Burns has been the best part of the Reds staff so far in 2026. His start in Philadelphia was his seventh of at least six innings, and his ninth consecutive start that lasted into the sixth. The last time Burns didn't reach the sixth inning was a five-inning, one-hit outing March 30 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
