Overview

• Greene logged his first nine-inning complete game, a one-hit shutout with nine strikeouts and one walk on 109 pitches in a game that finished in 1:59.
• Per Codify, he became the first starter of the pitch-tracking era to average 100-plus mph on ninth-inning fastballs, with nine heaters averaging 100.4 mph and a final pitch at 101.5.
• OptaStats reported he is the first MLB pitcher since Kerry Wood in 2001 to throw a one-hit shutout or no-hitter with at least nine strikeouts in under two hours.
• Cincinnati’s lone run came in the fourth when Austin Hays doubled and scored on Will Benson’s RBI double; Chicago’s only hit was Seiya Suzuki’s two-out double in the seventh, and Colin Rea struck out a career-high 11 over seven innings in defeat.
• Manager Terry Francona said an extra start for Greene had been considered but may not be feasible after the 109-pitch outing, as the Reds sit two games back with nine to play and Greene has urged larger home crowds for the stretch run.
