Cincinnati Reds' Hunter Greene sets velocity volume record in loss to Los Angeles Dodgers

LOS ANGELES -- On a cool Southern California evening, Cincinnati Reds rookie Hunter Greene brought some record-setting heat.

After five overpowering innings, the Los Angeles Dodgers finally caught up.

Trea Turner launched a two-run homer to snap a scoreless tie in the sixth and the Dodgers beat the skidding Reds 5-2 on Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory.

In his highly anticipated homecoming, Greene threw an astounding 39 pitches 100 mph or faster - most in a single game since pitch tracking began in 2008. The previous mark was 33 by New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom last June.
