Overview
- Burns threw seven scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and no walks in a 1-0 win on Aug. 14, 2026, allowing four hits and retiring 12 batters in a row at one stretch.
- Eugenio Suárez delivered the lone run with a sixth-inning RBI double that scored Tyler Stephenson to break a pitchers' duel.
- Sandy Alcantara saw his career-long scoreless streak end at 25 2/3 innings after allowing one run on three hits and four walks over seven innings.
- Brock Burke struck out the side in the eighth and Emilio Pagán closed the ninth for his 15th save to preserve the narrow victory.
- The Reds must absorb the loss of Hunter Greene to a second Tommy John surgery while managing Burns' jump in workload from limited pro innings to 131 this season and his emergence as an NL Cy Young candidate.
