He started Game 2 and 6 of the 1993 National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves.

Later that same season, he started Game 4 of the 1993 World Series for the Phillies against the Toronto Blue Jays, but he allowed seven runs before being taken out in the third inning in what became a see-saw 15-14 loss; the Phillies lost the Series in six games while Greene never pitched in a postseason game again.
