His ERA after his start on June 2nd was 9.51.

Since then he has made 5 starts.

In those 5 starts, he is 4-1, has 33 innings pitched, 8 hits, 2 runs(both earned), 10 walks and 41 strikeouts.  That's a 0.55 ERA and 0.545 WHIP. 

I knew he had to be really bad at the start to me. To me the big stat was going into last night he had started 201 games over 8+ seasons had never went past 7 2/3 innings in any game.

Reds led 1-0 after 2 1/2 innings and after 3 innings Green currently has a no-hitter going for the Reds. The Reds run came on a Stephenson solo homer.

India hits a massive solo homer to put the Reds up now 2-0. The Reds have 2 runs on 2 hits.

Green's no-hit bid stops with 2 outs in the 4th inning.

Reds pickup 4 more runs on 4 more hits including 2 more homers a 3 run shot by Stephenson on his 2nd homer of the night and a solo shot by Fairchild to put the Reds up 6-0 after 4 1/2 innings.

Wilson comes in for Green in the top of the 7th and gives up a double that was stretched into a run after two errors by Friedl and a throwing error by Elly gives them a run then a solo homer by Comforto. Reds led 6-2 now after 6 1/2 innings.

I haven’t really posted anything on the Reds this year. However, I still believe the Reds are in this thing and could make a run for the playoffs. Currently the Reds are the only team in baseball that has a positive run plus differential that doesn’t have a winning record. Usually when a team has a plus 32 run differential like the Reds they above .500. At some point if the Reds continue that, that things will eventually even out and we see them go on a nice run that gets them above 500 and right into the thick of things. 

Reds even the series and set up a big game tomorrow with a 6-4 win and another great outing by Greene.

This team may be in contention if they had not wasted all those great Hunter outings to start the year.

Reds become the 7th team ever to club 4 home runs the game after being no-hit.

Reds trailed just 3-2 heading into the top of the 8th inning but Moll and Cruz both have gave up a run and now they trail in this key game 5-2 with one out in the top of the 8th.

Reds relievers give up 3 more runs and they now trail 8-2 headed to the bottom of the 8th. 

Reds fall today 8-2 and are now 53-58  and are now 6 games out of the last wild card spot and again in last place in the central.

In 5 starts before the one yesterday Hunter had a 0.57 era in those 5 games and won 2 of them!!!!!  We just stink, no-hit Friday, 4 hits today, whew!!

Guess the experts were correct during off-season.  This team is a mediocre below 500 club and I don't really see that improving.  I'd love my post to be proven wrong but....
