Reds Lose at Home, 4-3, to Chicago (N)
The Chicago (N) Cubs had to overcome a fine effort from Cincinnati pitcher Jorge Ruíz to grab a narrow 4-3 win at Great American Ball Park. Ruíz went 8 innings and allowed 4 runs. Chicago (N) pitcher Don Black got the win, upping his record to 3-0. Jorge Ruíz got the loss. César Arche got the save, the 1st for him this season.

Chicago (N) used a clutch hit from Steve Shepard to snatch the win. The left fielder belted a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"Both teams played hard," said Chicago (N) manager Jimmy W.

The Reds fall to 6-14 and continue to sputter in the early going.
