CINCINNATI (AP) — Hunter Greene pitched seven sparkling innings, and the Cincinnati Reds completed a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 4-0 victory on Sunday.

Greene (2-1) allowed two hits, struck out eight and walked one. The 6-foot-5 right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 18 2/3 innings.

Santiago Espinal hit a two-run single against Carmen Mlodzinski (1-2) in the third. Elly De La Cruz added an RBI single in Cincinnati’s two-run fifth.

Mlodzinski allowed five hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked two.

Key moment

Isiah Kiner-Falefa tripled for Pittsburgh with one out in the second. But Greene struck out Tsung-Che Cheng and Espinal made a leaping grab of Henry Davis’s hard liner to second.

Key stat

Greene’s career-long scoreless streak is 24 innings from July 11 to August 8, 2024. It’s the longest scoreless innings streak by a Reds starter since 1989.

Up next

Pirates ace Paul Skenes (1-1, 3.44 ERA) starts Monday against the Nationals at PNC Park. Cincinnati’s Nick Lodolo (2-1, 0.96 ERA) takes the mound on Tuesday against the Mariners at Great American Ball Park.
