Rookie Pitcher Chase Burns Shines with 10 Strikeouts for Reds

On August 8th, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds faced off against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second game of their series. The Reds were coming off a disappointing 7-0 loss in the series opener the previous day.

Rookie pitcher Chase Burns took the mound for the Reds and delivered an impressive outing. Burns pitched 6 innings, allowing just 3 hits, 1 run, and 1 walk while striking out 10 batters. This marked the fourth time in his first 8 career starts that Burns had recorded 10 or more strikeouts, a feat never before seen in Major League history.

The Reds' offense struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, with Jake Fraley grounding into a double play to end a bases-loaded threat in the 2nd inning. However, in the 6th inning, Gavin Lux doubled and scored on a Tyler Stephenson double, giving the Reds a 2-1 lead.

The Reds' bullpen, already taxed due to injuries, was unable to hold the lead. In the 8th inning, Tony Santillan allowed a walk, a single, and a triple, allowing the Pirates to take the lead.

The Reds will look to even the series on Saturday, with Nick Martinez taking the mound against an as-yet-unannounced Pirates starter. The Reds need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
