Cincinnati Sends Chicago Packing with 6-5 Loss
The Cincinnati Reds did just enough to sneak past the Chicago Cubs, 6-5, at Great American Ball Park. Cincinnati pitcher Johnny Cueto, in particular, had a standout performance. Picking up the save was Rob Dibble. He's now 30 for 36 in save chances. The victory gives Cincinnati a record of 62-60.

Making an impact for the home team was Johnny Bench. In the bottom of the fifth, the 22-year old catcher had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 6-1, Reds.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Bench. "You've got to get results."
