Chicago Cubs starter Jeremy Burkett hurled his team past the Cincinnati Reds, 5-2. Burkett picked up the win for Chicago, going 5.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 10-11. The Cubs have a one-game lead in the National League Central Division.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Danny Lane to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"I was trying to do what I do, go out there and compete," said Burkett.
