CINCINNATI – As a kid growing up in Tennessee, Chase Burns liked the Yankees and, typical of many a young person, occasionally envisioned himself wearing the pinstripes. But on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park, none of that fandom mattered as the 22-year-old Burns was in a Reds uniform making his Major League debut against the Yankees.

Over five innings, Burns allowed three runs and six hits with no walks and eight strikeouts while throwing 81 pitches (53 strikes). He left trailing, 3-0, before the Reds battled back to take a 5-4 walk-off victory in 11 innings.

Great game. Burns looked amazing, offense woke up late, then they never quit en route to a walk off in the 11th.

Reds are 4.5 back of the division leading Cubs.
