Chase Burns has reached 100 strikeouts faster than any other pitcher in Cincinnati Reds history.
The Reds announced in-game April 28 that Burns reached 100 career strikeouts when he struck out Colorado Rockies designated hitter TJ Rumfield.
Rumfield’s strikeout, which came on a swing-and-miss against a 99.9 mph fastball, marked 72 1/3 innings pitched for Burns, who made his 14th career start in the game.
Burns then started to make his assault on his next 100 strikeouts. Through four innings, he has eight strikeouts against the Rockies and led, 4-1.
