Davis Shines in 9-3 Chicago Win
The Chicago Cubs defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 9-3, at Wrigley Field today. Leading the charge for Chicago was third baseman Xavier Davis. He went 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He drove in 5 runs. Nicolai Volnov, the winner, improved to 10-6. He held Cincinnati to 2 runs on 5 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 8 strikeouts. The Reds, now 45-52, have lost 4 straight.

Kevin Norton dealt the Reds a blow in the bottom of the second. Batting with the bases loaded and Chicago trailing 1-0, Norton, who finished 3rd in the NL in doubles with 46 in 2043, hit a 1-1 fastball for a 2-run single.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Norton.
