Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene made his first rehab start on Wednesday afternoon for the ACL Reds.

The ACL Reds won 18-6 and Greene pitched two strong innings. The right-hander did not give up a hit and struck out four over two scoreless innings. He threw 28 pitches, 16 of which were strikes, and walked a batter.

The 25-year-old flamethrower has been on the injured list for a couple of months with a groin strain. He was set to go on a rehab assignment a couple of weeks ago, but felt something and the Reds elected to send him to their complex in Arizona to continue to rehab the injury.

He is 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 58 2/3 innings this season.

It is expected that Greene will head to Louisville for his next rehab start.
