Hunter Greene of the Reds just finished four perfect innings against the Rays. He struck out three batters along the way. With his Ks low, he’s only thrown 43 pitches. The Reds lead the Rays 1-0 in the top of the fifth inning. Greene’s opposition BA is down to .188 this season.
Update: Greene issues a walk and hits a batter, but the no-hitter is intact through five innings.
Update: Elly De La Cruz just made a sliding backhand catch on a pop up into shallow leftfield for the first out of the sixth inning, preserving the no hitter. A fantastic play, up there with Jeter’s dive into the stands.
Update: With two out in the sixth inning, Brandon Lowe singles to right for the first Rays hit. The Reds still lead 1-0.
