The Cincinnati Reds needed a strong start from their rookie starting pitcher Chase Burns on Friday night and they got it.

Burns gave up just one run over six innings of work and struck out 10 batters while only issuing a single walk.

The right-hander became the first pitcher in Major League Baseball history to have 10 or more strikeouts in four of their first eight career games.

Burns lowered his ERA to 5.24 on the season. The Reds will likely have a decision to make on him soon, as he is most likely close to his innings limit.
