Hunter Greene and Art Warren combine to allow no hits, but the Reds still lose 1-0.   I think that sums up the season for Cincy and it's not even close to the All-Star Break.

That is the 6th time in history that has occurred.

Reds, Sunday against the Pirates

Los Angeles Angels on 6/28/08 against the Dodgers

Boston on 4/12/92 vs. Cleveland

Yankees on 7/1/90 vs Chicago White Sox

Baltimore Orioles on 4/30/67 against the Tigers

Houston Colt .45s on 4/23/64 vs Cincinnati

I'm hoping I was wrong about my early pre-season assessment of Hunter Greene.  I was convinced that he was damaged goods, and that we had wasted a Number One draft pick.

After watching the young man pitch I'm becoming a fan.  We will see how he does the second time around, BUT he seems to be in command and has a good mix of pitches.  Why he throws 36 pitches over 100 mph one game and none the next boggles me, But I'm hoping for the best for this guy.

Professional, articulate and clean-cut.  Hopefully, he is the real deal.

I remember a game not on that list that Harvey Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings for Pittsburgh versus the Milwaukee Braves and then lost the game.  The game was played on May 26th, 1959.  Haddix had previously pitched for the Reds.
