Burns struck out five of the first six batters tonight and faced just one over the minimum through three innings before giving up a leadoff homer to Ben Rice in the fourth. He later surrendered a two-run triple to Anthony Volpe, though it really should have been a single; Rece Hinds dove for a ball in right field that he had no chance of catching. Burns went without issuing a walk tonight. He got 12 whiffs: six on 48 fastballs and six on 24 sliders. His heated topped out at 100.1 mph and averaged 98.1 mph, which is right where he was at in Triple-A, too. All in all, it was a pretty impressive showing. He’ll make his next start in Fenway next week, probably in a matchup with Garrett Crochet.

Steer had the middle of three singles as the Reds scored twice to win the game in the 11th. Gavin Lux delivered the actual game-winner off the bench. Steer has 12 hits in his last seven games, and his current .660 OPS is his high mark of the season. He’s still not hitting the ball hard enough to inspire much confidence — his xwOBA has actually been trending downwards — but at least he’s settling playing time concerns that could have arisen with Austin Hays nearly ready to come off the IL and Noelvi Marte not too far behind.

It looked like this one would go to the Bombers before Encarnacion-Strand suddenly tied things up with a bases-loaded double in the seventh. The Reds made room for both CES and Santiago Espinal tonight by giving Spencer Steer just his fifth start in the outfield this season, but that’s probably not going to turn into a regular thing with Austin Hays set to return soon. The start tonight was Encarnacion-Strand’s second in five games.

After just 13 starts and 66 innings in the minors to open his career, Burns, the second-overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, will make his major league debut against the Yankees on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect arrives having posted a microscopic 1.77 ERA and 89/13 K/BB across three minor league levels this season.

Durbin smacked a one-out single off of Andrew Heaney in the third inning and on the very next pitch rode home on a two-run blast by Joey Ortiz. Durbin then clobbered a 387-foot (103.8 mph EV) three-run shot in the fourth inning that made it a 5-0 ballgame. With his two-hit attack, the 25-year-old rookie infielder is now slashing .236/.320/.351 with four homers, 29 RBI and six stolen bases on the year.

Four straight two-hit games have elevated Clement’s average to .310. He was at .271 two weeks ago, but he’s since gone 22-for-45, albeit with just two RBI. His steal tonight was his third success in six attempts.

Ugh. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters Suárez has “a ton of swelling” in his right hand, which they’ll need to subside before he undergoes a precautionary MRI to rule out any structural damage. It’s possible he winds up avoiding a trip to the injured list, but fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate him returning to Arizona’s lineup for at least a couple days.
