Chase Burns Takes Mound for Final Home Start of Season Against Cubs

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Chase Burns will make his final home start of the year on Friday night at Great American Ball Park against the Chicago Cubs. Burns is currently operating under a pitch count, which typically requires piggyback support from Brandon Williamson. However, after Williamson was used in mop-up duty earlier in the week, manager Terry Francona will be forced to alter his pitching plans slightly for the game.
