The Chicago Cubs saddled the Cincinnati Reds with a loss at Great American Ball Park. The final score was 7-4. Chase Strumpf was 2 for 4, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Chicago third baseman scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Caleb Kilian, who finished 2nd in the NL in ERA with 2.58 in 2025, picked up the win in relief. Nick Lodolo took the loss for Cincinnati. Chris Clarke was credited with the save, his 3rd in 5 tries.

In the top of the first, Strumpf pounced on a 2-0 changeup from Nick Lodolo and hit a 3-run home run. It put Chicago on top, 3-0.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Strumpf, "and then get after it again."

Chicago has now won 4 straight, while the Reds have lost 3 in a row.
