Chase Burns struggles as Reds face Nationals in ongoing game

Chase Burns, the Cincinnati Reds' ace, pitched 5.1 innings against the Washington Nationals on July 28, allowing 5 earned runs before exiting early in an 8-2 loss. This season, Burns has thrown 124.0 innings, exceeding his previous career-high of 109.1 innings last year. As the Reds sit in last place in the division, there are concerns about managing his workload effectively without jeopardizing his long-term development. The Reds, dealing with multiple injuries, need pitchers to absorb innings for the remainder of the season.
