Cubs Dust Off Reds, 3-1
Chicago Cubs starter Clark Griffith pitched well against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park, leading his team to a win, 3-1. The winner was Griffith. He threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Jose Rijo. The setback makes Cincinnati 65-67.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Ron Santo to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Santo. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
