ATLANTA – In a highly anticipated matchup between two of the top flamethrowers in Major League Baseball, starting pitchers Hunter Greene and Spencer Strider battled to a draw.
Once it moved into a battle of the bullpens, the Cincinnati Reds couldn’t hold down Atlanta in a 5-4 loss at Truist Park and were swept in this week's three-game series. Greene delivered his most productive start of the season, but the Reds' bullpen gave up two runs in two innings.
Buck Farmer surrendered a go-ahead, solo homer to Eddie Rosario in the eighth inning, the first time the Reds trailed all game.
