Reds 4 Cards 1
Hunter Greene continued his roll, firing seven innings of four hit, one run baseball.
Ty France and Jeimer Candelario each homered, and Spencer Steer continued his hot streak.
The Reds make it three straight wins in moving to 59-61.
The game was completed in 1:59, the second quickest in the 22 year history of GABP (1:56 vs SF, 2004)
Greene: 7 IN, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 8 K, 106 pitches. ERA 2.84. Last seven starts: 0.98, 5 ER/46 IN. Turned in his seventh straight quality start, the longest single-season streak by a Reds pitcher since Dan Straily (7), 2016.....per Elias. He has allowed 93 hits over his first 24 starts of the season, the fewest by any Reds starter in that span since 1901.
He lost the shutout bid on a 1st pitch HR to open the 7th by Nolan Arrenado. 2nd HR allowed last 8 starts, 11th in 24 starts overall. 13th quality start. 7 of 24 starts of at least 7 innings. Last season: 2 of 22 starts of at least 7 innings. He threw up on the mound, once again, but appeared to laugh it off when Tyler Stephenson went to the mound. Then threw back-to-back wild pitches before completing the 5th with a strikeout at 100mph. Still no idea why Derek Johnson didn't visit after he vomited to at least give him a break.
Bullpen:
Santillan 1-2-3 8th
Diaz 17th straight save….24 of 26.
Offense: 6 H, 2 BB, 3 K .....3 runs w/ 2 outs. Top 2 in order 0 for 8.
Spencer Steer: H,RBI, BB, SB (20). 6 game hit streak.
Ty France: HR to RF (353-feet). 3rd in 43 PA w/ Reds. After playing in Seattle, he’s gotta be thinking “I loooooooove GABP”
Jeimer Candelario: 2-R HR. 19th....T-2nd best total of career.
TJ Friedl: On 3X....2 H, BB, picked off
Elly: Made three really tough players look really easy.
Jonathan India: 0-4 in return from day off. 1 for his last 29.
How they scored:
1st Steer 2-out RBI 1B, 1-0 Reds
2nd France HR, 2-0 Reds
6th Candelario 2-out, 2-R HR, 4-0 Reds
