Chase Burns is one winning decision away from matching a Cincinnati Reds franchise record that has stood for 70 years. The right-hander is pursuing his 13th straight winning decision, a mark that would tie the franchise record set back in 1956, according to Cincinnati Reds Media Relations and MLB.com. The milestone chase was confirmed Saturday, August 15, 2026, adding another layer to what has already been a remarkable 2026 season for the young starter.
What a 13th Straight Winning Decision Would Mean
Franchise records from 1956 don't get matched often, and this one carries real weight. Sustained winning decisions over a stretch this long requires consistent performance across starts — getting deep enough into games to factor in the decision and doing it on the right side of the ledger, again and again. Burns is right at the doorstep of history.
