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.”
Turner finished with three hits, including one in the first. The quick short has had success in all eight games this season, and in 27 games in a row going back to last year. It’s the third longest hitting streak in team history in Los Angeles.
The beginning of the dodgers Julio Urreashis speed waned during the spring and during his first outing of the season, he was able to outrun Green by giving up one hit over five rounds.

The Dodgers added two extra runs, one charged to Greene, when Chris Taylor Hit one of two runs with two outs.
“He wasn’t really going to give us anything, so we had to earn it,” Turner said. “He kept us in the first 5 and a half innings and finally got to him. But he’s really good and I’m glad we got the win.”
Green (1-1) gave up three runs (two got) five hits in five runs, with no walks and six hits. He threw 80 throws.
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.
“It usually takes a little longer to find that [composure] For a young player, Bell said, “He’s going to have his moments, but getting the experience he’s got accelerates that development.”
Freeman added a sacrifice fly on the seventh to make the score 5-0.
