Reds lose no-hitter to Pirates

-

Cincinnati rookie righthande­r Hunter Greene tossed 7⅓ no-hit innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon but the visiting Reds lost 1-0 despite tossing a combined no-hitter.

It was the sixth time in major league history that a team lost while not allowing a hit in a game.

Greene, 22, struck out nine and walked five and threw 118 pitches before manager David Bell removed him. He was sent back out for the eighth inning after throwing 103 pitches through seven.

Greene induced Jack Suwinski to bounce out to first to start the eighth before walking both Rodolfo Castro and Michael Perez on fullcount pitches. Right-hander Art Warren walked Ben Gamel on four pitches to load the bases. Ke'Bryan Hayes bounced into a fielder's choice to score Castro.
