WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrés Chaparro drove in three runs and the Washington Nationals snapped Cincinnati ace Chase Burns' 12-game winning streak, beating the Reds 8-2 on Saturday night.
Rookie Abimelec Ortiz drove in two for Washington. The Nationals have won three of four after dropping a season-worst seven in a row.
Eugenio Suárez homered for Cincinnati as the Reds dropped consecutive games for the first time since July 11-12.
Washington took a 3-2 lead when Dylan Crews opened the sixth with a double and scored on Daylen Lile's double. Burns (13-2) then loaded the bases before yielding to Sam Moll, who was greeted by Chaparro's pinch double. Chaparro advanced on a wild pitch and scored when Jacob Young singled.
Burns, who built the fifth-longest winning streak in club history, lost for the first time since April 10. He allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings while striking out six.
