Hunter Greene was hit hard early and often in his Friday night start against the St. Louis Cardinals, surrendering 4 ER in 5 laborious innings. That was enough for the Cincinnati Reds on the night, as they were only able to match that output with a trio of runs anyway, while their bullpen allowed the Cardinals to put up another trio of their own in a deflating 7-3 loss.
It’ll be Cincinnati’s other highly-touted rookie on the bump on Saturday as the Reds and Cardinals go toe to toe in the afternoon heat, with first pitch set for 2:15 PM ET.
