Quite the reversal of fortunate from a guy who was nearly unhittable with his 0.98 ERA in his first four starts. He had given up just one homer in 27 2/3 innings before Cedric Mullins and Gunnar Henderson went back-to-back off him to open the bottom of the first. Ramón Laureano later added a two-run shot in the third. Greene also walked two and hit two batters. He’ll probably bounce right back from this, but if not, things could out of control in a hurry with his next start coming in Coors Field.

Greene is on an absolute heater to start the 2025 season. His four-seam continues to drive his success, registering 10 hiffs on 31 swings while pounding the zone at a 72 percent clip. Greene also got six whiffs on his slider, as much of his success has just been throwing his two best pitches in the zone repeatedly and daring hitters to do damage. They simply can’t right now. The right-hander will carry a 0.98 ERA into a start at Baltimore next week. You’re never taking him out of your lineup right now.

Greene struck out eight for a second straight start. He got a whopping 22 missed swings today, which is tied for the highest total by a pitcher this season. His 59 fastballs averaged 100.0 mph, and he topped out at 101.5 mph. Alas, the Reds offense couldn’t score even a single run for him in this one. Greene will take an 0-1 record and a 2.25 ERA into his third outing against the Giants.
