CINCINNATI – The Cubs rolled out all their regulars Thursday against the Reds, even after clinching a playoff spot the night before and celebrating with champagne showers.
That lineup didn’t save them from being shut out by Reds starter Hunter Greene in a 1-0 loss.
“There’s a 102 mile an hour pitch thrown in the ninth inning,” manager Craig Counsell said after the game. “That’s, that’s impressive, and that’s why he’s so good. It’s elite velocity, it’s the best there is in the big leagues.”
The last fastball Greene threw, his 107th of the night, registered at 101.
