The Cubs dropped the Friday opener in Cincinnati after missing out on a road sweep of the Baltimore Orioles with a 3-2 loss on Thursday. Reds starter Hunter Greene harnessed his best stuff in his second outing of the season to mow through the Cubs lineup in a 4-0 win on Friday, allowing three hits with 12 strikeouts and one walk over seven shutout innings. Relievers Brock Burke and Emilio Pagan finished off the shutout, while Elly De La Cruz and J.J. Bleday hit homers to help Cincinnati improve to 43-50 and sink the Cubs to 52-42.
