MLB Analysts Have High Praise for Cincinnati Reds Ace Hunter Greene

Hunter Greene tossed a complete-game shutout on Thursday night against the Cubs at Great American Ball Park.

MLB Now had high praise for Cincinnati's ace after the impressive start.

"Man, he was electric last night. It definitely starts with the fastball. He averaged an even 100 mph on his fastball for nine innings last night. Even in the ninth inning, he was up to 102. He was jumping ahead in the count to these Cubs guys, making them swing the bat...The thing that impressed me the most was just the command, the tempo he pitched with, and the way he imposed his will last night."

The Reds have won three straight games and remain two games back of the New York Mets for the third and final National League Wild Card spot. They'll face the Cubs in game three of the series on Saturday at 6:40 ET at Great American Ball Park.
