Hunter Green of the Cincinnati Reds sets a speed record in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers

LOS ANGELES – On a cold evening in Southern California, the rookie Cincinnati Reds Hunter Green Bring some standard heat.

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

Tria Turner Homer fired from two rounds to score a goalless sixth place tie and the Dodgers beat the Reds 5-2 on Saturday night for their fifth straight win.

In his highly anticipated homecoming, Green has thrown an astonishing 39 pitches at 100mph or faster—most of them in one game since starting field-tracking in 2008. The previous mark was 33 by the New York Mets. Jacob Degrom last June.

On his second start in the Major League, the 22-year-old right-winger, who went to high school in nearby Sherman Oaks, fired at least 13 yards at 101 mph—another record for a beginner.

The moment finally hit Green in the third inning, but only emotionally. He said he tearfully fell on the seat amid the enormity of the occasion, and was suffocated after emerging from the pile at six.

“I wish we had a win, but it was a really fun time,” Green said. “It was an incredible feeling and experience to face this squad. Freddy [Freeman] It gave me some love, kind of a tip of the hat, so that was cool. I was glad I was able to do it here and my family here.”

But with Green’s speed lowered a little later in the outing, it was a 99-mph fast ball for Turner that ended up in the left field seats.

“We still have to be ready for 99 with a very good slider and a decent change,” said Turner. “It’s tough no matter how strong it is, whether it’s 99 or 101, but I think we did a good job in the fight.”

The Reds lost their fifth game in a row – their last win came last Sunday when Green made his major league debut in Atlanta.

At first, Green said he cried on the bench in the third inning.

“I didn’t cry, it was just a poor choice of words,” he said with a laugh. “I was a little torn.

“I was sitting on the bench and it randomly hit me. I think I looked up and I could hear and feel the roar…Here, it’s a completely different atmosphere. And being here at Dodger Stadium as a kid, I think all of these factors played into that moment.”

The grand stage did not shake it in the stadium. Even a home run from Turner came on the field at the edge of the board.
