The Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs on Thursday night behind a complete-game shutout from Hunter Greene.

It was their third complete-game shutout of the season. Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, and Greene have all thrown one this season.

Since 2000, they're just the second Reds' starting staff to have three or more pitchers throw a complete game shutout in the same season. The other time was in 2009 with Bronson Arroyo, Aaron Harang, and Justin Lehr, according to Joel Luckhaupt.

The Reds are 77-76 and two games back of the New York Mets for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.

They host the Cubs in game two of the series at 6:40 ET. Nick Lodolo will be on the mound for Cincinnati.
