Hunter Greene News: Punches out eight in win

Greene (3-2) earned the win Saturday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out eight without issuing a walk.

After taking a drubbing against the Orioles in his last start, the Cincinnati ace looked much sharper in this 98-pitch performance, generating an incredible 20 whiffs. The long ball bit Greene again, as all three Colorado runs were scored on homers by Michael Toglia and Adael Amador. Greene now sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 43:6 K:BB over 36.2 innings, and he is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Cardinals.
