Reds Come Up Short at Chicago, 2-1
The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds put on a pitchers' duel.

The Chicago Cubs had to overcome a fine performance from Cincinnati pitcher Stan Lee to grab a 2-1 win at Wrigley Field. Lee allowed 2 runs over 6 innings. Curt Branch picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 1 run on 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 2-2. Jason Hatfield converted his 11th save in 11 tries.

Gavin Lux had a big solo home run for the Cubs in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Chicago leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he got a fastball from Stan Lee and swatted a home run to left. It was his 11th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 2-0.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Lux.

The Cubs sport a record of 42-65.
