Reds’ Greene stellar in win over D’backs

Hunter Greene allowed a bunt single to begin the game and then faced the minimum through seven innings, retiring his final 20 batters as the Reds defeated Arizona 7-0 in a rainshortened game in Cincinnati on Monday night.

Brandon Drury hit his 10th homer of the season. Kyle Farmer and Tyler Stephenson each had a two-run double.

The start was delayed 13 minutes because of showers, then a larger line of storms moved in and halted play with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. After a total of 46 minutes in delays, the game was called.

The rain came down so heavy and quick in the seventh that it pooled on the tarp, preventing the grounds crew from pulling it over the baselines and the third-base portion of the infield, which became saturated before auxiliary tarps could be brought in.

The second overall pick in the 2017 draft, Greene (3-7) yielded a bunt single down the third-base line by Daulton Varsho to begin the game. Varsho was caught stealing to complete a double play after Josh Varsho struck out.

Greene did not permitted another baserunner. Rangers-Guardians, postponed: The Cleveland Guardians were postponed by rain at home for the seventh time this season as a series opener with Texas was called 20 minutes before the first scheduled pitch. The teams are rescheduled for a doubleheader Tuesday, with the first game at 12:10 p.m. PDT.

Briefly: The Diamondbacks agreed to a minor-league contract with 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The left-hander was released by the White Sox after having a 2-5 record with a 7.88 ERA through eight starts . ... The Twins placed right-hander Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with a strained right groin, yet another health setback for their rotation. Ober became the fifth sidelined pitcher for the Twins among the eight who have started three or more games for them this season.
