Hunter Greene showcased a remarkable bounce-back performance last night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The young ace pitched six innings, striking out eight while allowing three earned runs on 98 pitches. Despite his stellar showing, Greene's recent struggles with home runs have raised eyebrows.

In his last nine innings, Greene has given up five home runs, a stark contrast to his earlier success this season. His fastball and slider remain potent, yet a troubling hard-hit rate of 44.6% suggests batters are making more solid contact compared to last year. Nevertheless, he maintained impressive strikeout and walk rates, indicating that he could still be on track for an outstanding season.
