Eugenio Su\u00e1rez homered<\/a> for Cincinnati as the Reds dropped consecutive games for the first time since July 11-12.<\/p>\nWashington took a 3-2 lead when Dylan Crews opened the sixth with a double and scored on Daylen Lile\u2019s double. Burns (13-2) then loaded the bases before yielding to Sam Moll, who was greeted by Chaparro\u2019s pinch double. Chaparro advanced on a wild pitch and scored when Jacob Young singled.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Chaparro and CJ Abrams added RBI singles in the eighth.<\/p>\n
Clayton Beeter (5-3) worked a scoreless eighth for Washington.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Tena led off the third with a single to center, then moved up two batters later when Abrams slapped a first-pitch slider down the right-field line for a double. Both scored when Ortiz poked Burns\u2019 0-2 fastball the opposite way to left.<\/p>\n
Nationals starter Andrew Alvarez surrendered a run on three hits and a walk in 5 1\/3 innings, and was pulled after Sal Stewart\u2019s infield single dribbled off third base. Max Kranick relieved him, and two batters later Su\u00e1rez ripped a fastball into the visitor\u2019s bullpen in left.<\/p>\n
Alvarez has not allowed a home run in his last 51 1\/3 innings, the franchise\u2019s seventh-longest streak since moving to Washington in 2005.<\/p>\n
