Hunter Greene was scheduled to throw a maximum of 80 pitches in what was his return appearance from the 15-day injured list, but he was still on pace to get through five innings until Chicago's Nico Hoerner worked a 12-pitch at-bat in the fourth inning.

The Cubs toppled the Cincinnati Reds 13-6 on Friday night as "PCA" continued to excel at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBIs.

Like the rest of the Cincinnati Reds, Hunter Greene’s night looked like it was going great until suddenly it wasn’t on Friday against the Chicago Cubs. And, well, Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong played a large role in Greene’s short night and the Reds’ 13-6 series-opening loss.
