It was a quiet Sunday for Finger Lakes-area teams, with just one game on the docket — and the local rooting interest landed on the visiting side. The Cincinnati Reds handed the New York Yankees a 4-1 loss, with starter Burns earning his eighth consecutive winning decision and Tyler Stephenson doing the heavy lifting at the plate with a three-run home run.
The loss drops New York to 46-30 on the season, still a strong mark but a reminder that no team cruises through June unscathed. Cincinnati, sitting at 37-39, used the win to inch back toward .500 — a meaningful step for a club still working to stay relevant in the standings. Burns’s run of eight straight decisions without a loss is quietly one of the better individual stretches in the league right now, and Stephenson’s homer gave him more than enough cushion to work with.
Every other tracked team was off Sunday, so the slate was as thin as it gets. The Red Wings, Bills, Giants, and the rest had the day to themselves.
