"Chase Burns set the tone for the Reds, as he absolutely mowed through the Washington order this afternoon, and received plenty of run support from his offense in the blowout win. This one got off to a really hot start for both pitchers, as we saw a combined five strikeouts in the first inning. Chase Burns struck out two of the three batters he faced to start the game, and then Foster Griffin one-upped him by striking out the side in order in the bottom half of the first."
"The onslaught began in the bottom of the second inning for the Reds. After the Nats went down in order again.

Washington at least got their first hit of the afternoon in the third, on a double by Jorbit Vivas, but unfortunately, nothing came out of it. The 2-0 score held until the bottom of the fourth, when the Reds really started to jump on Foster Griffin."
"After a single and a couple of walks, Jose Trevino drove in two with an RBI single, and then Ke'Bryan Hayes really broke it open with a two-run double, making it all of a sudden a 6-0 ballgame. Blake Butera elected to leave Griffin in the game for the bottom of the fifth inning, presumably just to eat up some innings. That did not go quite as planned. After an Elly De La Cruz leadoff double and a walk, the stage was set for JJ Bleday, who attacked a cutter and mashed it into the right field stands for a three-run shot, boosting the C"
