PITTSBURGH — Reds starter Hunter Greene and reliever Art Warren combined to allow zero hits in a complete video game, but it didn’t count as a no-hitter — or even a earn — simply because the Pittsburgh Pirates eked out a operate in the bottom of the eighth inning for a 1- acquire Sunday.
This was the sixth time in big league historical past given that 1901 that a staff has gained regardless of not getting any hits. It very last happened in 2008 when Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo of the Angels missing while keeping the Dodgers hitless.
By Major League Baseball record-holding guidelines, Cincinnati’s accomplishment is not an official no-hitter since its pitchers did not go at minimum nine innings. And in a season in which most every thing has gone completely wrong for the Reds, this undoubtedly had to be the topper.
Greene, the prized Reds rookie, was pulled after a pair of one-out walks in the eighth. He threw 118 pitches, the most by any pitcher in the majors this year.
Warren walked Ben Gamel to load the bases and Ke’Bryan Hayes’ grounded into a operate-scoring forceout for the only operate.
Cincinnati batters went down in order in the ninth and that was it at PNC Park — no celebration for the Reds, who have the worst report in the majors.
