Spirited fans greeted the Cincinnati Reds for their clash with the Chicago Cubs.

The Chicago Cubs overcame a fine performance by Cincinnati shortstop Jun Tsuda to defeat the Reds, 10-8, at Great American Ball Park. Tsuda went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. George Poirier was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 30 of 35 save opportunities.

Chicago took a 10-6 lead on Heef Harted's 8th home run of the season. The grand slam home run came off Cincinnati pitcher Justin Ambrose in the top of the eighth.

"That's a solid team effort right there," said Harted. "Everyone's feeling positive after that win."

The win gives Chicago a season record of 81-77.
