Reds Waste Great Game from Grunwald
Cincinnati first baseman Chris Grunwald had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Grunwald went 4-5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once, even as Chicago beat the Reds, 7-6. Chicago reliever Mike Alexander picked up the win, upping his record to 2-2. Eddie Grape absorbed the loss. Earning his 8th save of the year was George Poirier.

Chicago took a 7-6 lead on Efrain Vargas's 17th home run of the season. The solo home run came off Cincinnati pitcher Eddie Grape in the bottom of the seventh.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Cincinnati manager Jimmy Silveira II. "But we decided not to take it."

The last-place Cubs sport a record of 25-28.
