Hunter Greene Joins Exclusive List in Reds' Victory Over Angels

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene joined an exclusive list on Tuesday when he struck out 12 batters without issuing a walk.

It was just the 12th time since at least 1901 that a Reds pitcher has struck out 12 or more batters without issuing a walk, according to Matt Wilkes.

It was Greene's 11th double-digit strikeout game of his career, which is the sixth most in Reds history.

The right-hander gave up three runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings pitched. He has a 2.63 ERA on the season and the Reds are 8-5 in games that he's pitched in.

“I feel like my process is solid, and obviously our team has given a lot,” Greene told MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. “I don’t nearly have the amount of innings that I’ve had in the past, so there is a lot that I do owe this team and I feel that, and I know that, and I embrace it.

The Reds have won three straight games and are one game back of the New York Mets in the National League Wild Card race.

Tonight is just the 12th time since at least 1901 that a Reds pitcher has struck out 12+ batters without issuing a walk.

Hunter Greene is the first Reds pitcher to do it since Johnny Cueto on June 11, 2014.
