The Washington Nationals defeat the Cincinnati Reds 8-2 on Saturday, snapping Reds ace Chase Burns’ 12-game winning streak. Washington’s offense breaks open the game as Andrés Chaparro drives in three runs, while rookie Abimelec Ortiz adds two more RBI.
The win comes as Washington looks to stabilize after a difficult stretch earlier in the season. Sources note the Nationals have won three of their past four games after previously dropping a season-worst seven straight. Cincinnati, which entered the game with Burns on a strong run, receives the loss despite his prior success.
Across the available reports, the central points remain consistent: Washington wins by a wide margin, Chaparro’s multi-RBI performance fuels the scoring, Ortiz contributes in his rookie showing, and Burns’ streak ends with the defeat.
