Reds phenom Chase Burns can’t get out of 1st inning in 2nd start after memorable MLB debut

Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds phenom right-hander Chase Burns went from a memorable major league debut to a miserable second one against the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. After becoming the first starting pitcher in the expansion era to strike out the first five big league hitters he faced Tuesday against the New York Yankees, the 22-year-old Burns was tagged for seven runs, five earned, and got only one out. Burns, selected second overall by the Reds in July’s amateur draft, walked the leadoff batter, Jarren Duran, on a 99.9 mph fastball.
