San Francisco – It was the first time in the game that Hunter Greene has appeared about to allow a race: Willy Adames was at first base with two withdrawals and Greene faced the Jung Hoo Lee of the Giants at the end of the sixth round on Monday evening in Oracle Park.
Lee worked the account at 2-0 – the first time Greene had fallen behind a San Francisco striker to this measure all evening. Lee connected to a quick bullet of 99.6 MPH, sending it deep in the night in the field of the center right … and in the glove of the Blake Dunn voltiseur.
It was a sequence indicating the masterful performance that Greene presented in the Reds 2-0 victory on the Giants, who had entered the day with a sequence of seven consecutive victories and the best record of the majors at 8-1.
Greene fell a few steps from her first Madadux career – a laundering on less than 100 throws.
“He came out of the battle that sounded well,” said Greene, his eyes widen, concerning Lee’s Drive, the second ties that the Giants had in the match. “It made me feel alive, honestly. Going through the game, everything is in a way in my favor, then this ball is affected. These are the best players in the world, so you must have situations and moments like that.
“But yes, it made me feel more alive.”
The revenge match of the opening day with Logan Webb of San Francisco remained aimlessly until the seventh, until the Reds set up a rally against Camilo Doval and Erik Miller.
Dunn has torn a double of two points on the line of the right field to break the dead end and pass through a pair of races, which turned out to be sufficient for the hard victory.
Greene tried to sail in the ninth but met with trouble with two withdrawals, allowing a lee single and walking Matt Chapman. Manager Terry Francona went to Tony Santillan out of the lift enclosures, who avoided the disaster by removing Heliot Ramos on a lining of 106.7 MPH to the left field player Tony Hurtubise – the tightest ball of the giants in the night.
“Once it was my turn,” said Santillan of his first safeguard since 2022, “my state of mind was:” I have to get the latter guy for Hunter “because he deserved this high time.”
“Each outing, it was absolutely dominant,” said Dunn. “He went there and gave everything. Being able to get this victory today for him was great.”
“If I would have succeeded with my emotions, I would have left Hunter,” admitted Francona of late drama. “I wanted him to finish this match, I just thought he had started to overthrow a little.”
Greene reluctantly relied on the four -fashionable quick ball, which he launched for 59 of his 104 throws. Six of them were timed at more than 100 MPH, while 28 others were at least 99 MPH. But it is the cursor of Greene, launched 33 times to generate 11 puffs, which attracted the most attention from the other canoe.
“He threw 100 in the ninth,” said Giants manager Bob Melvin. “More than anything, however, I think it was the cursor today. It was even better than the last time we saw it.
“I think Hunter is one of the best baseball launchers,” webb added. “I think if he remains in good health, he is likely to probably win the Cy Young last year. I mean, you see the things. He launches 101 on Pitch 100. He is one of the best launchers in baseball, so that’s just what you expect. I think I faced it every time I face the Reds now, so maybe the next time I will face the team without having faced it. But yes, it is definitely a special arm in this league in this league, and you saw this evening.
After being settled, the Reds handed over to San Francisco his second defeat. The two came to the hands of Cincinnati, which sought to start this series on the west coast on the right foot after a difficult weekend in Milwaukee.
“They fought hard for that,” said Francona, making a gesture to strong music playing in the Reds clubhouse next to his office. “Right now, the victories are a bit difficult for us. It does not mean that we cannot, it’s just a little difficult. So seeing them be excited, it makes me really happy.”
