Cubs Deal Reds 5-3 Loss
The Chicago Cubs knocked off the Cincinnati Reds, 5-3, at Great American Ball Park. Eloy Jimenez was a big reason Chicago won. The designated hitter belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Chicago reliever Norberto Vargas picked up the win, raising his record to 6-0. Ben Rowen was tagged with the loss. Chicago is now 56-79, Cincinnati 62-75.

Chicago used a timely hit from Gavin Lux to get the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Jimenez.
