Hunter Greene delivered a dominant performance for the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night, striking out 12 batters and allowing only three hits over seven innings in a 4-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Elly De La Cruz and JJ Bleday each hit home runs to provide the offense. Greene, who had surgery on March 11 to remove bone chips from his right elbow and missed the first three months of the season, improved his record to 1-1 after struggling in his July 4 debut against Baltimore.
