Reds 4, Cubs 0: Hunter Greene Thirty-Three Pitch FP Shutout

Greene from the first pitch, Cubs never scored

July 10, 2026 – Cincinnati – Hunter Greene threw a dominant shutout, and the Cincinnati Reds blanked the Chicago Cubs 4-0 at Great American Ball Park, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.

Some nights the story is the margin. This one was the zero on the Chicago side of the scoreboard. Greene controlled the game from the first pitch while Cincinnati scratched enough runs against Cubs pitching. The Cubs never scored—a classic pitcher's showcase on a Friday night along the Ohio.

Thirty-three FP and seven clear of the field

Greene's 33 pitching FP topped the entire Friday slate, seven FP clear of the next arm. AthX Engine rewards strikeout-heavy shutouts like this one, and Greene delivered the kind of start that moves daily leaderboards on its own.

You don't need a blowout to feel a shutout's weight. Four runs backed Greene. That was plenty.

Just enough from the Reds' bats

Elly De La Cruz and JJ Bleday chipped in on offense as the Reds backed their ace with just enough support. The night belonged to Greene, but Cincinnati still had to give him something to protect—and they did.

On the daily board

Shutout dominance moves daily leaderboards. Greene's 33 FP is the kind of single-start ceiling AthX Engine grades separately from dynamic pricing.

Back at Great American Ball Park

The Reds and Cubs played again Saturday in Cincinnati.
