Chris Grunwald was a vital contributor to the 20-4 Cincinnati victory over Kansas City.

He worked 7 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 2. Kansas City's current losing streak is now 4 games.

Joseph Kirchmann, who is tied for 6th in the NL in doubles with 20, chipped in for Cincinnati with a grand slam home run in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 3 runs scored, and 4 RBI.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Kirchmann. "And not try to do too much."
