MLB Data & Insights
Hunter Greene, Reds Look to Snap Brewers’ Red-Hot Streak
The Cincinnati Reds are finally ready to let Hunter Greene loose.
After nursing a groin strain that limited him to two starts since early May, Greene (4-3, 2.63 ERA) will take the mound Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers without pitch restrictions. Reds manager Terry Francona said it’s time to “take the gloves off.”
Greene is still finding his groove. He’s allowed four runs over nine innings in two starts since returning — both no-decisions — but he’s poised for a breakout if his command sharpens.
“I take pride in grinding through the tough ones,” Greene said of his recent performance against the Royals. “There’s still a lot to work on, but I’ll get back to what I usually do.”
His history against Milwaukee? Not so pretty — Greene is 1-4 with a 7.45 ERA in six career starts vs. the Brewers. But this time, he’ll have the benefit of pitching at Great American Ball Park, where he’s generally more confident.
Track live Reds stats and matchups to see how he fares.
Brewers on Fire, Yelich Leads the Charge
The Brewers are blazing through the NL Central, riding an eight-game win streak that includes Monday’s 3-2 series-opening win over the Reds. Christian Yelich, the newly crowned NL Player of the Week, has been unstoppable.
Yelich crushed a tie-breaking solo homer Monday, just days after launching a walk-off grand slam against the Red Sox. Over his last five games, he’s gone 10-for-20 with 3 homers and 9 RBIs.
Milwaukee will turn to veteran Freddy Peralta (5-3, 2.77 ERA) in Game 2. He’s been sharp all year and owns a 3.35 ERA in 20 career appearances vs. Cincinnati. While he didn’t factor into the decision in his last outing, he’s been consistently reliable — and turns 29 on Tuesday.
