NEW YORK (AP) --- Chase Burns pitched five innings of one-run ball and survived
six stolen bases for his eighth straight win, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the
New York Yankees 4-1 on Sunday.
Tyler Stephenson hit a three-run homer in the fourth off New York rookie Elmer
Rodrguez (0-2) as the Reds withstood allowing six steals for the second time
this season.
Noelvi Marte added an RBI double in the ninth.
Burns (9-1) allowed one run and five hits. He struck out seven and walked three
to become the first Reds player to win eight straight decisions since Tom
Browning in 1989.
The Yankees stole six bases in a game for the first time since Sept. 5, 2013.
Jasson Domnguez, Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr. stole two apiece for the
Yankees, who lead the American League with 80 steals. New York also went 0 for
9 with runners in scoring position and went hitless in its final 24 at-bats
with runners in scoring position in the series.
Jos Caballero was also caught stealing in the second and Anthony Volpe was
picked off first base by Burns in the third.
Ben Rice homered in the third inning as the Yankees lost for the third time in
four games.
Rodrguez allowed three runs and four hits in four-plus innings. He made his
fourth career start since the Yankees pushed back Gerrit Cole and the rest of
their starters a day.
Domnguez and Bellinger pulled of a double steal in the first and Burns retired
Chisholm on a popup. Bellinger stole second in the third and was stranded when
Burns struck out Spencer Jones. Austin Wells popped out after Chisholm stole
two bases in the fourth.
