If you were absorbed by the return of the NFL on Sunday, you may have missed one of Hunter Greene's best performances as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. He was outstanding against the New York Mets and helped bring the Reds to within four games of the final spot in the NL Wild Card standings with 19 games left in the 2025 season.
Greene was filthy, striking out 12 batters over seven innings while allowing just one run. The lone run — and hit — the Reds' flamethrower surrendered came during the third inning when he tried to sneak a slider past Brett Baty.
