Hunter Greene left last Tuesday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers after five innings. The next day, the Reds placed Greene on the injured list with a right groin strain. Jim Day provided an update on the Reds' ace during Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Gavin Lux hit a grand slam, Christian Encarnacion-Strand homered for the second straight game and the Cincinnati Reds routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-1 on Saturday after completing a suspended game with a 4-3 victory in 10 innings.

In the span of three days, the Diamondbacks have experienced the turbulent cycle of Major League Baseball life on the road. On Thursday in Atlanta, they trailed by six runs with one out in the ninth before rallying to a miraculous win.

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson was hit hard in the first inning, allowing five runs to put his team in an early hole.

The Reds won twice Saturday, June 7 at Great American Ball Park. The first victory came in dramatic fashion as they walked-off the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 10th inning to complete Friday's series opener, which was suspended after six innings due to rain.
