Chicago 9-2 Losers to Reds
Cincinnati took on Chicago in front of a lively crowd.

Cincinnati designated hitter Ted Kluszewski was instrumental in helping the Reds triumph, 9-2, over the Chicago Cubs. Kluszewski was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3. The Reds improved to 73-79.

Cincinnati used a big swing from Barry Larkin to get the win. The shortstop walloped a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Reds up, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it changed the outcome.

"Winning never gets old," said Larkin.
