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.
