The Cincinnati Reds came into spring training with one of the better pitching staffs in baseball, led by Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Andrew Abbott. But Greene suffered an elbow injury, and Lodolo suffered a blister issue. Neither has pitched this season. Abbott has also struggled more this season than he has in his entire career. In their place, Reds flamethrower Chase Burns has stepped up in a big way. He's been the ace of the Reds' pitching staff through 29 games, leading the way with a 2.65 ERA, three wins (tied with Rhett Lowder), a 1.3 WAR, and 39 strikeouts in 34 innings. On Tuesday night, Burns made Reds history.
