Greene pitches the Reds to a 2-0 win over Webb and the Giants, ending their 7-game win streak
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hunter Greene came within one out of a complete game, outlasting Logan Webb in an old-fashioned pitchers' duel between All-Star starters, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 2-0 on Monday night to stop their seven-game winning streak.
Blake Dunn hit a two-run double off reliever Erik Miller in the eighth inning, and Tony Santillan shut the door in the ninth for Cincinnati.
Greene (1-1) gave up four hits, struck out seven and walked one. He retired the first two batters in the ninth, but then Jung Hoo Lee singled and Matt Chapman walked.
The 25-year-old Greene was pulled after 104 pitches, and Santillan fell behind 3-1 in the count to Heliot Ramos before he lined out to left field, ending a game that took only 2 hours, 9 minutes.
It was the fifth career save for Santillan. The other four came in 2022.
Greene's only complete game came during his rookie season in 2022 when he threw a seven-inning shutout against Arizona in a rain-shortened game.
Webb struck out 10 and allowed four hits without a walk in seven scoreless innings.
Camilo Doval (1-1) took over in the eighth and walked his first batter before hitting another with a pitch. After Jose Trevino sacrificed, Miller entered and walked TJ Friedl to load the bases.
Dunn's sharp double down the right-field line was the only hit in the inning.

Should Tyrese Maxey be the one to take the last shot for Sixers?
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey is one of the rising stars in the league. At just 24, he has already been named an All-Star and has a Most Improved Player award under his belt as he continues to make strides. He averaged 26.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.3 rebounds as the No. 1 option in the 2024-25 season with his two co-stars sidelined. The Sixers have three stars--when healthy--they can rely on when the game gets tight down the stretch. Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George are more than capable, but which one should they go to down the stretch of the game? Bleacher Report believes it should be Maxey when discussing who should take the final shot for each team: With apologies to former MVP Joel Embiid and nine-time All-Star Paul George, this is Tyrese Maxey's team in Philadelphia now. The Sixers' star guard averaged more fourth-quarter points than players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Donovan Mitchell, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and others and has showcased in the toughest environments that no moment is too big. With Embiid and George likely limited again this season, Maxey is the key for Philly returning to the playoffs. Maxey will certainly be somebody coach Nick Nurse and Co. will lean on when the 2025-26 season gets underway in October. They will need the star guard to be healthy and ready to go for a roster that is in need of isolation scoring from the perimeter.

Alex Bregman Predicted to Opt Out of Red Sox Deal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million deal last winter. He was named an All-Star this year, but he has a player option for next year. Bregman was an All-Star in 2018 and 2019, but from 2020 to 2024, he slashed .261/.350/.445. While not bad, he was not playing like an All-Star. This year, he has slashed .299/.379/.542 in 76 games. He could find a more lucrative deal if he opts out of his current contract. If Bregman does hit the open market, many teams should be interested after his resurgent season. However, Bregman is reportedly open to an extension with the Red Sox, and it may be his preferred destination even if he hits the open market.

HOUSTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 11: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox runs the bases after hitting a two run home run during the first inning against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park on August 11, 2025 in Houston, Texas. MoreHe could not opt out and stay in Boston for $40 million next year, but CBS Sports' Mike Axisa predicted he would opt out and sign a new deal with the team. "Bregman opts out and eventually agrees to a new long-term contract with the Red Sox," wrote Axisa. "He's a (Scott) Boras client, so expect Bregman to see what's available in free agency, but I get the sense both sides are motivated to stay together. Boston's cheap (and excellent) young core makes it easy to fit a new contract for Bregman into ownership's not-as-ample-as-it-should-be budget." In the end, Bregman would stay in Boston with this prediction. However, he would get a new contract with likely more years. After trading Rafael Devers, Bregman's representation knows that the team has ample funds to pay him more. More MLB: Red Sox's Alex Cora Responds to Tarik Skubal's Cheating Accusation

MLB insider details how this newly acquired All-Star could impact San Diego's offseason
MLB insider details how this newly acquired All-Star could impact San Diego's offseason originally appeared on The Sporting News San Diego Padres General Manager A.J. Preller has a reputation when it comes to the Trade Deadline. And once again, he didn't disappoint—orchestrating five deals involving a whopping 22 players that reinforced his fearlessness to shake things up. That included the acquisition of All-Star closer Mason Miller, who headlined the flurry of San Diego's deadline moves. While this season is still ongoing, Thomas Harrigan explains that Miller—and his future utilization—could be key to the Padres' offseason approach. 'The flamethrowing right-hander has given San Diego's bullpen another electric arm, though it remains to be seen how long he'll actually stay there,' he wrote. 'No, Miller isn't going anywhere—he's controllable through 2019—but there have been rumblings that the Padres could consider transitioning him back to the rotation in the future.' 'With Dylan Cease, Michael King and the newly acquired Nestor Cortes all nearing free agency, how the Friars decide to proceed with Miller could have a major impact on their approach to the starting pitching market this offseason.' Miller made six starts and four relief appearances during his first Major League season with the Athletics in 2023. But he broke out the following year as a full-time reliever, earning his first All-Star nod with a 2.49 ERA and 28 saves in 55 games. The third-round pick in the 2021 draft has excelled in the bullpen during his limited time in San Diego, holding a 3.38 ERA over five games with three holds and one save. However, the Padres will be hungry for starting pitchers this offseason, and Miller could be a solid in-house option.
