Reds rookie Chase Burns became the first pitcher in the expansion era to strike out the first five batters he faced in his major league debut.
He was not able to carry the momentum through the rest of the game.
The 22-year old right-hander, the second overall pick in last July’s amateur draft, allowed three runs in five innings Tuesday night against the New York Yankees. Burns would not factor in the decision though after Cincinnati scored three runs in the seventh to tie the game.
Burns struck out his first five batters before Jazz Chisholm Jr’s single. He gave up six hits and struck out eight, the seventh Cincinnati starter to have at least that many in his first career start.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Burns also joined the Yankees’ Al Leiter and Tampa Bay’s Wade Davis as the only pitchers since 1961 whose first six outs in their debuts were strikeouts. Both gave up a run during the first two innings.
Burns struck out seven of the his first 10 hitters and allowed only one hit until Ben Rice led off the fourth by connecting on a hanging slider that went 413 feet and two-thirds of the way into the right field sun deck at Great American Ball Park.

Aaron Judge followed with a base hit. Burns retired the next two hitters, Chisholm got aboard with a single and Anthony Volpe hit a two-run triple when center fielder TJ Friedl made an ill-advised dive and the ball got by him.
Burns averaged 98.1 mph with 48 fastballs, topping out with a pair at 100.1 mph in the first inning. He threw 24 sliders, eight changeups and one curveball. New York was 1 for 9 with six strikeouts in his first time through the order and 5 for 9 with a triple and home run the second time through.
Burns threw 53 of 81 pitches for strikes. His first big league pitch was a 98.4 mph fastball to Trent Grisham that just caught the inside corner of the plate. He got Judge to chase a 91.1 mile slider for the third out in the first inning.
He fell behind 3-0 on three of the first 10 batters before ending up with strikeouts.
Burns started 11 of 21 batters with strikes and induced 12 swing and misses. He is the fifth first-round selection from last year’s draft to reach the majors, joining Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz, Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone, Angels second baseman Christian Moore and Astros outfielder Cam Smith, who was selected by the Cubs before going to Houston in the Kyle Tucker trade last December.

Cam Ward to Aaron Rodgers: What Could Go Right, Wrong for Every AFC QB in 2025
Henry McKenna NFL Reporter <!--> In the NFL, it's good to prepare for anything. No one saw the Kansas City Chiefs' season coming last year, from Patrick Mahomes' poor performances to his astonishingly consistent late-game theatrics. Few saw C.J. Stroud's struggles coming. At this time last year, few would've anticipated Cam Ward going first overall in the draft. Or the Chargers and Justin Herbert making the playoffs.These surprises are what make the league great. So … let's try to spoil a few. No, I promise this will be fun. I've gone through every AFC team (and, on Thursday, every NFC team) and predicted what could go right for each quarterback — and what could go wrong.Let's dive in.What could go right: Jackson's pass-catchers disappoint him on 10% fewer plays. Of course, the Mark Andrews drop in the divisional-round game against the Bills […]

NBA Draft 2025 live updates: Start time, latest mock draft, predictions, news and analysis
I don’t think Dylan Harper’s case at No. 2 is quite as ironclad as some others think it is, but at the end of the day, I still give him the nod over Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe for this spot. Harper doesn’t pop athletically and struggled to shoot consistently in his lone college season (33.3 percent from 3, 75.0 percent from the line), but he is a true ball-in-hand, pick-and-roll creator with plus size and instincts.His nose for the ball makes up for some meh measurables: Despite not being a speed demon, he pilfered 3.1 steals per 100 possessions in Big Ten play and the defensive tape shows him sliding to cut off driving angles. Offensively, he constantly touches the paint and shot 57.4 percent on 2s with a high free-throw rate. Harper did this despite a limited Rutgers roster around […]
PWHL Draft 2025: Best picks, biggest surprises and why New York stole the show
OTTAWA – Pascal Daoust started Tuesday night’s PWHL Draft under a microscope.The New York franchise Daoust has constructed since the league’s inaugural draft in 2023 finished last in the league standings two years in a row. He left American star forward Alex Carpenter unprotected in expansion and left many fans confused by his choice to stockpile defenders at the expense of the team’s forward talent.AdvertisementUnderstandably, a lot of pre-draft chatter was about what exactly Daoust might be doing.But three picks into the first-round – and certainly by the end of the night, with two trades and nine selections, including two of the top three players available – Daoust was at the winner’s table.He started by selecting Kristýna Kaltounková with the No. 1 pick, adding a physical forward with international experience and a heavy shot to bring more offense to the […]
