The Chicago Cubs offense has been as unpredictable as the spring temperatures the last few weeks, switching on and off with little notice.

Greene, the hardest-throwing starter in the game — his average fastball velocity of 98.9 mph led all pitchers with 100 or more innings last year — had been winless since beating the Cubs on Oct. 3 in his last start of the 2022 season. He combined with reliever Art Warren for eight no-hit innings as a rookie against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a game the Reds wound up losing 1-0, keeping it from becoming an official no-hitter.
The Cubs didn’t even hit a ball to the outfield until the sixth, when Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson flied out to left. Reds manager David Bell lifted Greene after 110 pitches, even though Greene looked like he could continue dominating. Ross sat Seiya Suzuki on Friday to give the hot-hitting right fielder a day off, using Morel in right and Mancini at DH. Morel had a tough time dealing with the sun and the lack of foul territory down the line, though he wasn’t charged with an error and contributed to a double play with a strong throw to the plate in the sixth.
