Nationals End Burns' 12-Game Streak | MLB News

The Washington Nationals snapped Chase Burns’ 12-game winning streak with an 8-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, thanks to a breakout performance from Andrés Chaparro (3 RBIs) and rookie Abimelec Ortiz (2 RBIs). After a seven-game losing skid, Washington now wins three of four, while Cincinnati hits its first two-game losing streak since mid-July. Burns, who hadn’t lost since April, was pulled after loading the bases in the 6th, and Chaparro’s pinch-hit double sealed the win. Starter Andrew Alvarez pitched 5⅓ innings without allowing a home run, and the Nats added insurance RBIs in the 8th. The series finale features Cincinnati’s Brady Singer vs. Washington’s Brad Lord in a bullpen game—can the Nats keep rolling?
