Cincinnati rookie Chase Burns struck out nine Nationals batters in the first four innings and finished with 10 Ks for the second straight start.

Reds rookie starter Chase Burns threw hard, but he couldn't escape a bases-loaded-no-outs jam in the bottom of the sixth. That's where the Nationals scored three runs to add to their lead. Their bullpen, which is one of the worst in Major League Baseball, held the Reds bats scoreless the rest of the way.

The Washington Nationals defeated the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 on Monday, marking their highest scoring game since July 3.
