Reds vs. Cubs Game Highlights (5/26/23) | MLB Highlights

Oh the left hander Justin Steele like he said fastball slider that is a large percentage of what he's going to throw those other ones they're just a little potpourri he sprinkles those in when he needs to doesn't overpower you but he comes right after you chopped fair to third backhanded stop Mastro Boni long throw McLean has speed and he easily beats out an infield hit Spencer Steer he's matched the longest hit streak by any red this year this ball's ripped on a line toward right center field that's in the gap and that's going to roll by the right fielder Morel and go all the way to the Ivy here comes McLean around third he'll score steer on his way to third and he slides in safely with an RBI triple one nothing Reds as steer goes to the gap he's at third base the Cubs have the infield in that is clock to left that's down base hit steer home Stevenson delivers and it's a two nothing Reds lead Justin Steele entering today had allowed two first inning runs all year first ball swinging Stewart Fairchild grounds went up the middle diving stop it short no play Stevenson in the second base on the single up the middle by Stewart Fairchild still ready to on two out oh two and foul tip into the mitt of Barnhart after a half Reds to Cubs coming up the twenty three year old Hunter Green for the Red Legs the Reds have simply not scored very many runs at all in support of Hunter Green Green into his wind up and deals the payoff pitch Swanson swings late on a hundred mile an hour fastball and he's down on strikes to gone green to the plate with a payoff pitch course the runners going and it's popped up high into the bright sky Kirk to Sally moving under it and he will make the catch reaching out at just the last second to put it away in the inning is over Trey Mancini hasn't had a start since I think last Saturday get the guy that's on a hundred and seen he takes strike three called it was a fastball down the middle and he just watched it swing and a miss and down on three good second inning Matt Mervis that'll work he strikes out two and a one two three frame looks like that Justin Steele beginning to get it together a little bit had an easy one two three inning last inning he's on the verge of a one two three inning here in the third this one lifted into right field and they don't see it and he's going to run for days rounding first it gets into the Ivy and Tyler Stevenson will hold right there at second base Christopher Morrell just got blinded and stopped. The thing is if he's going to be out there and he's going to get blinded like that why does it even sunglass. Yeah I would agree to base hit for Stevenson his second hit of the day come backer that's in the center field wave is on for Stevenson Tuchman boots the ball sends out shoots for second Stevenson scores and sends out claims second base the Reds up three with another man in scoring position and to the plate he can swing and a miss struck him out slider down and ends some two out thunder the Reds had a run three zip out of the batter's box and now he waits on the right hander Hunter Green. Here he comes. See you later. Back to back heaters. Mastro Boni is out on strikes that's four strikeouts for Hunter Green and that is strike three back to a breaking ball right on the outside corner. Hunter Green is locked in so far bottom third of the order up for the Reds here in the fourth inning against Justin Steele. That one hung a bit. Newman stings it to left it's got some carry and that's off the Ivy gathered by half. Newman loses the helmet slides into second as he pops up with the leadoff double Jose Barrera up there now with Newman at second base and Barrera in the left that gets down base hit wave is on they're going to force have to come to the plate. Here's the throw on the slide say backside Barrera up to second. The Reds extend their lead. It's now for nothing but pretty good one pitcher cover Babel lost the ball because Sally arrives Barrera over to third as he butted that ball toward first Mervis shoveled the ball to Steele who had to kind of reach behind him and tried to make a backhanded catch of the toss and never got the handle first pitch to right center Morales had a rough day. He makes this catch on the run but it's plenty deep enough Barrera tags in third he scores sack fly RBI five nothing lined off the glove of a diving Horner. And that's going to be nine hits against Justin Steele two on two down for Tyler Stevenson little blooper. That's a season high three hits for Stevenson because Sally around third he scores a big day for Tyler Stevenson who makes it six nothing. Hunter Green is not going to be long for this game unless he can start to string some very efficient innings and a swing and a miss and a high fastball down on strikes Dansby Swanson and Green has struck out back to back man he's now got seven strikeouts. He is retired nine in a row swing and a miss struck him out a case for Green for shutout no hit innings for Hunter Green leadoff double for Stewart Fairchild. Now Kevin Newman's the batter that is well hit over third base hit Fairchild around third he scores. It's a second double for Newman seven nothing Cincinnati Hunter Green knocking on the door of his first win of the season strike three called a beautiful change up on the outside corner and that's the ninth strikeout of the game for Hunter Green Green turns it loose swing and a miss struck him out and that is already the tenth strikeout of the game for Hunter Green. He's closing in on a hundred pitches struck him out. Green has matched his career high eleven strikeouts. Boy is he rolling right now stopping at third as McClain on a double by Stier. One out of the sixth inning and Nixon's L will come to the plate fly ball shallow right Morrell on the run still coming still coming makes the catch trying to tag and score the throw to the plate is going to be in time double play. McClain had to veer into foul territory and he missed the plate sliding by the throw by Morrell all the way to Barnhart from down the right field line on the fly and it's going to be a double play two men are out in the sixth inning David Bell over talking with Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson right now and kind of went to him and said well what do you think here. And this ball is a lazy fly to left field up with the gloves and Zell shading his eyes as he comes in to make the catch another one two three inning as Hunter Green has posted six hitless innings for the Reds against the Cubs today. Eduardo Salazar on here the five year old from Venezuela an opportunity for the combo. No no Salazar turns it loose another ground ball. India makes all three outs here in the seven blue skies overhead but helps don't have a hit here today. Salazar back to work around Luzardo to center and a base hit first knock of the day and the fans digging in. So no more no no he lines a base hit in the left field two men on one away you never know the dribbler toward third in the field at Sinzel glove and throw on the run just in time to get Nico Horner side retired. Some men second and third Reds lead seven nothing to Sally to right gets down to base hit Fairchild scores Barreiro green line throw from shallow right on a slide save two ribbies for Casale nine nothing Reds his first two RBI eyes of the season and looks to the heavens as if to say thank the Lord and Ian Happ representing the Cubs final chance opposite way Benson the pitching pure as Green Salazar and Cruz combine on a two hitter and the Reds route the Cubs in the opener nine to nothing.
